Hi,

No., We cannot perform DML operations on Dual table. because we dont have the access permissions on that table.

For security reasons,we hide data from the database then we use Views.If there are more transactions on the base table then we use materialized views.

New features of Oracle 9i are:

i)Merge statement  ii) Flashback query iii) Functionbased indexes iv) Materialised View enhancement and......

I say: a materialized view is a table withe the same structure like the under laying view, access to it, specially when the view has many joins becomes much faster. there is different methods to reupdate this materialized view. frequently, with a special command or as soon the underlaying tables changes.

You can index this materialized view

Hello,

As I go through the Comments related to the dual table I saw that there is a comment that we can not perform a DML operation on Dual table. Yes it is correct but only in case if you are log in through the client. If your login through Sys you are able to perform the all DML operation (for e.g. Insert,Update,Delete).
