Report based on MV: Deliberately make the report fail if MV is out of date?

Question

I have a query that is used in a BIRT report (in IBM's Maximo Asset Management platform).

I'm considering storing the query in a materialized view in order to improve performance and reduce the load on the system.

Question:

Is a way to deliberately make the report fail if the MV is out-of-date?

• In other words, we'd rather have no data in the report, than wrong data.

Edit:

I removed the excessive details from the question.

Answer 1

Why bother at all with a new column, when you can just check LAST_REFRESH_DATE in ALL_MVIEWS before executing the actual query.

ALL_MVIEWS

And there is basic/advanced query rewrite as well.

Answer 2

To build on @BalazsPapp's answer:

I can check the LAST_REFRESH_DATE in ALL_MVIEWS or USER_MVIEWS:

select
    *
from
    wo_mv
where
    exists (select 1
            from all_mviews
            where mview_name = 'WO_MV'
                  and trunc(last_refresh_date) = trunc(sysdate) 
           )
