Re: how to make a key on a view? (Hoteltravelfundotcom)

Hello Buck

If you can get by with periodic refresh (daily/hourly)
then a MQT (Materialized Query Table) might by what you're looking for.
See

unfortunately DB2/400 does not support REFRESH IMMEDIATE
so you have to refresh it yourself.

This certainly worked for me.
