Abstract

In an embodiment, Partition Change Tracking (PCT) refresh is performed by using join dependencies on partitioning columns to derive and fill in identifiers of rows and/or partitions containing the rows in the refresh expressions. In an embodiment, the join dependencies that form the Materialized View's (MV's) query definition and the partitioning predicate of the table are used to automatically generate a statement which is run in order to derive and fill in identifiers of the rows and/or partitions that are being changed. The identifiers are then plugged into the refresh expression, and the refresh expression is run. Running the refresh expression causes the rows identified to be refreshed.
