"Materialized View(MV)" is different from "View(V)" for below reasons: 1) MV is stored on disk 2) The reason MV is stored on disk is to reduce the computation time i.e. in data warehousing environments we use aggregated or summary tables, these summary/aggregate tables are created before hand in the form of MV and stored on disk. 3) Materialized view is a name in oracle environment and in sql server it is known by indexed views.

Materialized view is the result set of a query

View is thought of as a virtual table, that is, a table that does not really exist in its own right but is instead derived from one or more underlying base table.

View shows underlying table data changes in real time and Materialized view is a snap shot and needs to be updated periodically.

Materialized view is a way of denormalizing data to avoid repetitive expensive joins .
