DBMS_SNAPSHOT.REFRESH

Synopsis

Call the REFRESH procedure to force a snapshot refresh. The specifications for the Oracle7 and Oracle8 versions of the REFRESH procedure differ. Note that the Version 8.0 implementation adds parameters that support parallelism and drops the execute_as_user parameter. Both versions are overloaded, allowing you to specify the list of snapshots as a comma-delimited string in the list parameter or as a PL/SQL table in the tab parameter. The other parameters are identical for the two versions.

Oracle7 specification:

PROCEDURE DBMS_SNAPSHOT.REFRESH
   (list IN VARCHAR2,
    method IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
    rollback_seg IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
    push_deferred_rpc IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE,
    refresh_after_errors IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
    execute_as_user IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE );

PROCEDURE DBMS_SNAPSHOT.REFRESH
   (tab IN OUT dbms_utility.uncl_array,
    method  IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
    rollback_seg IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
    push_deferred_rpc IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE,
    refresh_after_errors IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
    execute_as_user IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE );

Oracle8 specification:

PROCEDURE DBMS_SNAPSHOT.REFRESH (list IN VARCHAR2, method IN VARCHAR2 := NULL, rollback_seg IN VARCHAR2 := NULL, push_deferred_rpc IN BOOLEAN := TRUE, refresh_after_errors IN BOOLEAN := FALSE, purge_option IN BINARY_INTEGER := 1, parallelism IN BINARY_INTEGER := 0, heap_size IN BINARY_INTEGER := 0); PROCEDURE DBMS_SNAPSHOT.REFRESH (tab IN OUT dbms_utility.uncl_array, method IN VARCHAR2 := NULL, rollback_seg ...
