Re: Re: please help with materialized view question

Normally you can get extra tables involved with an MV by creating a Dimension that
describes all the relationships between the tables in the MV and the tables outside the MV - but the only times I've done this, the extra tables have always been at the parent end of a parent/child link to a table in the MV.

Given the way the 'create dimension' defines levels and hierarchies, I think this may be a requirement; so you may not be able to do what you want to do.
