Scheduled snapshots of views (without using materialized views or Oracle Golden Gate)?

I have 40 views in an Oracle 18c GIS database that are used in a map in a workorder management system (WMS). - The views are served up to the WMS map via a web service. - There are an average of 10,000 rows per view. The views have joins to dblink-tables in a separate Oracle database, and as a result, are not fast enough for use in the WMS map (3-second map refresh delay). Furthermore, it seems like a bad idea to compute the views each time a user refreshes the map--since the map does not need to be up-to-date in real-time. As an alternative, I would like to take snapshots of the views on a weekly basis. The snapshots would be static tables that would perform well in the WMS map. **The Catch:** Unfortunately, due to office politics issues, using technology like materialized views or Oracle's Golden Gate to solve this problem is not an option. --------------- What are my options for taking scheduled snapshots of Oracle views (without using materialized views or Golden Gate)? For example, I could make an .SQL script that truncates static tables and inserts the rows from the views into the tables (although, as a novice, I don't know how efficient or risky that option would be, or if there are better alternatives).
