RE: Base table of materialized views

I have a few questions that you can answer with by post of the snapshot creation command.  Also, the refresh type and any other relevant info. (i.e. snapshot log, etc.)

Subject: Base table of materialized views

I have posed this question to Oracle support and have yet to receive an

understandable answer, so I thought it best to ask the experts.

I used to run under 8.1.5 with compatibility set to 8.0.  Whenever I

created a snapshot I had an underlying table snap$_ that was the physical

table residing in Oracle.  This was great because it allowed me to alter

the data with DML when I needed to (believe me, I have my reasons!).

After upgrading to 8.1.6 I set compatibility to 8.1 so that I could take

advantage of the HTML generation from SQL and probably some other features

that I can't remember immediately.   There is no longer a SNAP$_ table, but

the materialized view is actually a table with the same name.  Even though

the object is listed as a table in the data dictionary, when I try to

perform DML I get an error stating that I can't update this view.

Oracle has taken away a feature that I have come to depend on.  Does anyone

know of a workaround for this problem?

Any insights would be appreciated.
