Yep. That's the trick. I recreated the snapshot using a 'where 1=0' clause, dropped the snapshot, and was then able to drop the table. It also unregistered it on the master site. Thanks.

Recreate the mview using the prebuilt table option, then try dropping the mview again.

create materialized view test on prebuilt table as select ... ; drop materialized view test;

I ran into this one time. I forget if it was a bug or if my db link was down. In any case I ended up with the quandary that you are in.

I have a snapshot that I dropped; however, it left the table.

When I query DBA_SNAPSHOTS the materialized view is not included. When I query DBA_OBJECTS it shows that the object is present as a table.

When I try to drop the table it gives "ORA-12083: must use DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW ..." . When I try to drop the materialized view it gives "ORA-12003: materialized view 'xxxx' does not exist". When I try to rename it it gives "ORA-32318: cannot rename a materialized view"

Any thoughts?
