Hello sir

I have one question there is any limitation for views ,because
we have created a view from different 20 tables and also view have more than 120 columns from those 20 tables

for eg: if we have tried to run the following query it would be freezed

>select count(*) from <view_name(from 20 tables)> ;

plz give me good suggestion to overcome this type of problems.

-advanced Thanx.

I strongly suspect this application was NOT designed to Third Normal Form.
Having to join 20 tables to answer 1 single business question seems outlandish on the surface.

I have no problem with 120 column, but that averages out to about 6 columns per table.
>is any other way to fast up the view output.
Reduce the number of tables being joined by the view.

I still have a hard time accepting the implicit premise that TWENTY different data relationships actually exist that require 20 different tables to be used & joined.

Hopefully you or your "data architect" can (re)design collection of tables so they all are in Third Normal Form.
I suspect that this will reduce the number tables involved.

There is nothing wrong with using views per-se, joins of views can present problems though - especially when they are complex views (see the doco for a definition of complex views).

Oracle has trouble with joins of 5 or more tables. The more tables, the more likely you are to have trouble. See here for more.

If some of the queries against your view need to query base tables A,B,C,D while other queries are only intersted in tables AEDF, then consider table functions as alternative to views.
