ORA-30353: Query Rewrite Incompatible

📦 Oracle Database
📋

Description

This error occurs when Oracle's query rewrite feature encounters an expression in the SELECT clause of a materialized view that it cannot handle. Query rewrite optimizes queries by using precomputed results from materialized views, but certain expressions prevent this optimization.

ORA-30353: expression not supported for query rewrite
🔍

Known Causes

4 known causes
⚠️
Non-Deterministic Functions
The SELECT clause contains functions like SYSDATE or CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, which return different values each time they are called, making the materialized view's results unreliable for query rewrite.
⚠️
Sequence Numbers
Using sequence numbers directly in the SELECT clause is not supported because these values change over time, invalidating the precomputed results.
⚠️
Bind Variables
The SELECT clause references bind variables, which are placeholders for values that are not known until runtime, making it impossible to precompute the materialized view.
⚠️
Unsupported Pseudocolumns
The SELECT clause includes pseudocolumns like UID, USER, or ROWNUM, which are context-dependent and not suitable for query rewrite.
