-No.  That isn’t how MV work.  If you include an MV relation in your query from clause there is no reference or knowledge as to the underlying query that built the MV physical relation.

Thx David

Cool so that is what my understanding was. But that comes back to my main question - the MV is cached data from the last time refresh was run. If I query the MV and the underlying realtime data changes (i.e. from the source tables not the MV) - should I be getting a replication conflict issue? I would have thought not as the MV data should not have been impacted
