Description

Call SetReadOnly to set the database to read only. 

Access mode specifies the type of access a transaction has for the table it uses. There are two possible modes: read-only and read-write.

  • Read-only specifies that a transaction can read data from a table, but cannot insert, update, or delete table data.
  • Read-write specifies that a transaction can select, insert, update, and delete table data. This is the default setting if none is specified.

Tip: You should specify the transaction's access mode even if is read-write. It makes the application's source code easier to read and debug, because the program's intentions are clearly spelled out.
Note: You must install InterBase 6 to use this feature.
