May I know the difference for these two items?

Data in materialized view can be refresh but so as view when we use select statement. Why not just use view instead of materialized view?

What is the difference between virtual view and materialized view?

A view is virtual or logical memory that is based on the 'select' query. A materialized view provides access to duplicate, physical data in a separate table. It serves as a snapshot view of the data, is faster than simple tables and can be used for security purposes.

What is the purpose of materialized view?

In data warehouses, you can use materialized views to precompute and store aggregated data such as the sum of sales. Materialized views in these environments are often referred to as summaries, because they store summarized data. They can also be used to precompute joins with or without aggregations.

When you need performance on data that don't need to be up to date to the very second, materialized views are better, but your data will be older than in a standard view.

While creating Materialized view Oracle creates two objects, a table where the results are actually materialized and a materialized view that has all the metadata (the query, the attributes, etc.).

But while creating View Oracle creates only one object, which has all the metadata(the query, the attributes, etc.)
