A broad documentation pass across the areas LanceDB Enterprise and Embedded diverge on most: **Data Curation** -- GPU Function execution, Slurm scheduling (and what Slurm is, for readers new to it), blob late materialization as its own page, joins, aggregation/profiling, sampling, near-duplicate detection, chunking, distributed shuffle, and IVF-partition clustering. **Feature Engineering** -- computed columns and materialized views, restructured to lead with the Function-based path and show the SQL form side by side with Python throughout; a single Auto Refresh page instead of duplicating scheduling details on every refresh page; adaptive execution; checkpointing; GPU and Slurm placement for refresh workers; a Training Cache page for the PyTorch data loader's automatic cache benefit. **Security & Governance** -- an Audit Log reference (schema, access, grants), Secrets promoted to an ordinary catalog object with their own SQL DDL and a vending/rotation guide, and privilege-table fixes verified against the authorization source. **Deployment & Maintenance** -- Horizontal Scaling and OpenTelemetry moved into a real Deployment area; Automated Cleanup folded into Intelligent Auto-Maintenance (every other maintenance decision already lived there); RTE Compaction and Advanced Conflict Resolution documented in depth. **Landing page** -- the Enterprise feature comparison table reorganized (several redundant or stale rows removed, several new areas added), and the "why Enterprise" bullets replaced with ones tied to a concrete page (Performance, Scale, Fault tolerance, Multicloud deployment, Simplify operations) instead of vague promises. Plus a full pass addressing lancedb-gatekeeper's review: a real test-safety bug (a quickstart test could silently overwrite and delete a deployment's own `frames` table), a fabricated SQL statement with no backing implementation, an actual dedup-guarantee bug in `take_row_ids`, and dozens of documentation-accuracy fixes verified against source rather than taken on faith -- each either fixed, or left with an explicit note on why it needs a feature or deployment owner's sign-off instead of being guessed at. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) https://claude.ai/code/session_018PXMCbRH6i5w47TsjeEUMT --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Refresh a [materialized view](/feature-engineering/materialized-views) to
|
|
bring its stored rows up to date after the source table changes.
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
In SQL this is [`REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW`](/sql/dml/refresh-materialized-view).
|
|
</Note>

|
## Refresh a view {#refresh}
|
|
|
|
<CodeGroup>
|
|
```python Python icon="python"
|
|
view.refresh()
|
|
```
|
|
</CodeGroup>
|
|
|
|
In LanceDB Embedded, every refresh rebuilds the view completely from its
|
|
source query -- there is no incremental refresh there. Calling it again
|
|
with no source changes still rebuilds and commits a new table version. In
|
|
LanceDB Enterprise, the server chooses the refresh mode instead; pass
|
|
`full=True` to force a full rebuild there too.
|
|
|
|
In LanceDB Embedded, the result reports what the refresh did:
|
|
|
|
<CodeGroup>
|
|
```python Python icon="python"
|
|
result = view.refresh()
|
|
result.rows_written # rows in the rebuilt view
|
|
result.source_version # the source table version the view now reflects
|
|
result.version # the view's own new table version
|
|
```
|
|
</CodeGroup>
|
|
|
|
LanceDB Enterprise refreshes run through its SQL job adapter, which doesn't
|
|
expose these metrics: `mode`, `rows_written` and `source_version` are all
|
|
`None` on an Enterprise result, even though the refresh itself ran.
|
|
|
|
Pass `source_version=N` to refresh against a particular source version
|
|
instead of the latest. This is a LanceDB Embedded capability only --
|
|
LanceDB Enterprise's SQL refresh does not support pinning a source version:
|
|
|
|
<CodeGroup>
|
|
```python Python icon="python"
|
|
view.refresh(source_version=12) # LanceDB Embedded only
|
|
```
|
|
</CodeGroup>
|
|
|
|
Use `view.table.count_rows()` for the view's row count at any time; on
|
|
LanceDB Embedded it always matches `rows_written` from the most recent
|
|
refresh.
|
|
|
|
## Automatic refresh {#auto-refresh}
|
|
|
|
A materialized view can refresh itself on a schedule instead of waiting
|
|
for an explicit `refresh()` call. See [Auto Refresh](/enterprise/auto-refresh)
|
|
for enabling it at creation, the SQL and SDK forms for changing the
|
|
setting afterward, and how it differs from a computed column's
|
|
per-output granularity.
|
|
|
|
## When a refresh fails {#failures}
|
|
|
|
A refresh replaces the view's stored rows in one commit, so a failure leaves
|
|
the view as it was after its last successful refresh. Fix the cause and
|
|
refresh again.
