Re: Growing MLOG$

Just another recommendation-  look at the actual SQL for the mview refresh.  Is the SQL so complex that it could be delaying the refresh times and causing part of the issue?  I have always pushed to simplify the queries as much as possible utilized for the refreshes and keep complex code in the reporting side against the mviews vs. the source.  Often a little tuning can go a long way when you are experiencing problems with mview refreshes/extensive mview log sizes.

>>  PS. I tried running these scripts but don't see my table listed:

If you don't have an Materialized view created on the source table, you should drop the MV log. Otherwise you'll see MLOG$ keeps growing, even if you manually truncate them it will grow again when you have more new transactions modify the table. You can recreate the MV LOG when you are ready to create the first Materialized view.
Hope this helps
