5. What are snapshots? What are materialized views & where do we use them? What is a materialized view log?
- Snapshots are copies of read-only data of a master table.
- They are located on a remote node that is refreshed periodically to reflect the changes made to the master table.
- They are replica of tables
Views
- Views are built by using attributes of one or more tables.
- View with single table can be updated, whereas view with multiple tables cannot be updated
Materialized View log

- To put it simple, a materialized view is an aggregate table.
