Hi

1) Sql Server 2000 and Oracle does have added the facility of indexed views. Prior to Sql Server 2000 indexed views were not there.

2) Oracle call them as Materialized views and Sql Server 2000 call them as Indexed views

3) I think all the views can be indexed and index too can be altered but i am not sure on this.

Regards

Harsh Gupta
