[Oracle-l] complete refresh

Sai

Complete refresh always truncates the table and then does an insert.

However there is trick - if you create a refresh group (even if it contains just one snapshot) and refresh the group instead of the snapshot then it will not truncate but it will delete the rows.

hi

does complete refresh of mvs always do a truncate of the table and then does an insert from the master site or is there a possibility when it deletes the records in the table and does a insert of the records from master site.
one more question is whether this functionality has changed from 7 to 8i/9i. some here in my team say in 7 version complete refresh used to delete records and not truncate the snapshot.

thx
