TTable.ReadOnly Property

Specifies whether a table is read-only for this application.

Pascal

property ReadOnly: Boolean;

C++

__property Boolean ReadOnly;

Description

Use the ReadOnly property to prevent users from updating, inserting, or deleting data in the table. By default, ReadOnly is false, meaning users can potentially alter a table's data.

Note: Even if ReadOnly is false, users may not be able to modify or add data to a table. Other factors, such as insufficient SQL privileges for the application or its current user may prevent successful alterations.

To guarantee that users cannot modify or add data to a table,

1Set the Active property to false.

2Set ReadOnly to true.

When ReadOnly is true, the table's CanModify property is false.
