Question

I’m reading some articles, even some answers here on stack, but i still have some issues. I’ll post my MV code for possible analysis:

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW some_materialized_view
REFRESH COMPLETE
START WITH sysdate
NEXT '2011-12-01' + 31
WIDTH PRIMARY KEY
AS my_query

The error is:

00984. 00000 -  "column not allowed here"

Am i forgeting something? The only thing i want is that my MV update every month beggining. Can someone help?

Thanks!

Answer 1

There are two syntax errors in your command.

The clause WIDTH PRIMARY KEY should be WITH PRIMARY KEY (you have a typo on WITH)

The NEXT clause is using a date literal which requires the date keyword:

NEXT DATE '2011-12-01' + 31.

So the full command should be:

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW some_materialized_view
REFRESH
  COMPLETE
  START WITH SYSDATE
  NEXT DATE '2011-12-01' + 31
  WITH PRIMARY KEY
AS <your query here>
