    Abstract: A system and method for flexible execution in the order of operations for loading data into base tables, for checking the base tables for constraint violations, an d for refreshing the materialized views. The system and method maintains the ability to perform a ny of these operations incrementally. Materialized views may be incrementally refreshed at different points in time independently of one another and independently of the load append operations performed on the base tables. The system and method includes load appending data to on e base table, incrementally refreshing of just one associated materialized view (and makin g the materialized view available immediately thereafter) and deferring refresh of the other materialized views, load appending more data into other base tables, and incrementally refreshing all materialized views with respect to all load append operations. Advantageously, the system and method handles combinations of multiple materialized views associated with a single base table as well as multiple base tables referenced or associated with one materialized view.
