A materialized view in Oracle is a database object that contains the results of a query.They are local copies of data located remotely, or are used to create summary tables based on aggregations of a table’s data.
A materialized view can query tables, views, and other materialized views.
A materialized view, or snapshot as they were previously known, is a table segment whose contents are periodically refreshed based on a query, either against a local or remote table.
Syntax
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW view-name BUILD [IMMEDIATE | DEFERRED] REFRESH [FAST | COMPLETE | FORCE ] ON [COMMIT | DEMAND ][[ENABLE | DISABLE] QUERY REWRITE] AS SELECT …;
Methods
BUILD
IMMEDIATE : The materialized view is populated immediately.This option is default one.
DEFERRED : The materialized view is populated on the first requested refresh.
Refresh Types
FAST: A fast refresh is attempted only there is a change in the base table. If materialized view logs are not present against the source tables in advance, the creation fails. To maintain the history of change in the base table, it is known as materialized view log.It is named as MLOG$_<base_table>. Materialized view log will be located in the source database in the same schema as the master table. Refresh fast will perform refresh according to the changes that occurred in the master table.
COMPLETE: The table segment supporting the materialized view is truncated and repopulated completely using the associated query.
FORCE: A fast refresh is attempted. If one is not possible a complete refresh is performed.
ON COMMIT : The refresh is triggered by a committed data change in one of the dependent tables.
ON DEMAND : The refresh is initiated by a manual request or a scheduled task.

Export(exp) and import(imp) are Logical backup and Recovery. When exporting the database objects are dumped to a binary file which can then be imported into another Oracle database.
The Export and Import utilities provide a simple way for you to transfer data objects between Oracle databases, even if they reside on platforms with different hardware and software configurations.
When you run Export against an Oracle database, objects (such as tables) are extracted, followed by their related objects (such as indexes, comments, and grants), if any. The extracted data is written to an export dump file. The Import utility reads the object definitions and table data from the dump file. First, let us see export in detail.
Difference between exp/imp and expdp/impdp
Exp/imp is a Traditional export import,expdp/impdp is a Datapump export
import.
Traditional export import utility is starting with exp/imp,Datapump utility
is starting with expdp/impdp.
Datapump access files in the server (using ORACLE directories). Traditional export can access files in client and server both (not using ORACLE directories).
exp/imp (Traditional) is using conventional path , expdp /impdb (Datapump) is using Direct path.
Exp (Traditional) is byte mode ,Datapump is block mode.
Data Pump will recreate the user, whereas the old imp utility required the DBA to create the user ID before importing.
Datapump utility we can stop and Restart the Jobs.
Features of Datapump utility
Job Estimation can be Done in Datapump.
Data Remapping can be done using REMAPDATA parameter.
EXCLUDE and INCLUDE parameter allows the fine-grained object selection.
Failed export/import Jobs can be Restarted.
Export and import can be taken over the network using database links even without Generating the dump file using NETWORK_LINK parameter.
CONTENT parameter gives the freedom for what to export with options METADATA ONLY, DATA, BOTH.
You don’t need to specify the BUFFER size in datapump
Job estimated completion time can be monitored from v$session_longops view.
Dump file can be compressed with COMPRESSION parameter. In conventional exp/imp you have to compress the dumps using OS utilities.
Data encryption can be done in datapump.
DATAPUMP has interactive options like ADD_FILE, START_JOB, KILL_JOB, STOP_JOB.
REUSE_DUMPFILES parameter asks the confirmation/rewrite the existing dumpfile.

Flashback Query allows the contents of a table to be queried with reference to a specific point in time, using the AS OF clause. Essentially it is the same as the DBMS_FLASHBACK functionality.
