Neoview Command Interface (NCI) Guide (R2.3)

wild-card-pattern
is a character string used to search for and display materialized views with names that match
the character string. wild-card-pattern matches an uppercase string unless you enclose
it within double quotes. To look for similar values, specify only part of the characters of
wild-card-pattern combined with these wild-card characters:
Use a percent sign (%) to indicate zero or more characters
of any type. For example, %art% matches SMART,
ARTIFICIAL, and PARTICULAR but not smart or
Hearts. "%art%" matches smart and Hearts but not
SMART, ARTIFICIAL, or PARTICULAR.
%
Use an asterisk (*) to indicate zero or more characters of
any type. For example, *art* matches SMART,
ARTIFICIAL, and PARTICULAR but not smart or
Hearts. "*art*" matches smart and Hearts but not
SMART, ARTIFICIAL, or PARTICULAR.
*
Use an underscore (_) to indicate any single character.
For example, boo_ matches BOOK and BOOT but not BOO
or BOOTS. "boo_" matches book and boot but not boo
or boots.
_
Use a question mark (?) to indicate any single character.
For example, boo? matches BOOK and BOOT but not BOO
or BOOTS. "boo?" matches book and boot but not boo
or boots.

Considerations
• You must enter the command on one line. The command does not require an SQL terminator.
• You can execute this command only in SQL mode.
• If you do not specify a wild-card pattern in a SHOW MVS command, NCI displays all the
materialized views that exist in the current schema.
• If you specify a wild-card pattern in a SHOW MVS command, NCI displays only the
materialized view names that match the wild-card pattern.
• If the SET TIMING command is set to ON, the elapsed time information is displayed.
Examples
• This command shows all the materialized views in the current schema, PERSNL:
SQL>show mvs;
MATERIALIZED VIEW NAMES
-------------------------------------------------------------
mvemp1 mvemp2 mvemp3 mvjobdesc
SQL>
• This command shows all the materialized views in the current schema, PERSNL, that have
“EMP” in their names:
SQL>show mvs %emp%;
MATERIALIZED VIEW NAMES
-------------------------------------------------------------
MVEMP1 MVEMP2 MVEMP3
SQL>
• This command shows all the materialized views in the current schema, SALES, that are
named “ORDER” followed by one character:
SQL>show mvs "ORDER_"
