Materialized View or table?

От

Дата:
I have a table (A) with 750+ million records and another one (B) which is a summary of information in A containing 30+million records.

Now I wonder whether it wouldn't be better to have B as an indexed materialized view.  Though not often, there will be situations where B has to be updated.

In the past I avoided materialized views when the result of a query contains more than about 1 million records. I do not know enough about the implications for the server's resources to make an informed decision though.

What are the pro's and con's of large materialized views vs. tables in a case like this?

Regards
Johann

AFAIK a matview is essentially the same as a table under the covers, so
I don't believe there's any reason not to use one. At some point we'll
have incremental refresh of some sort, which might help in your case.
