I don't know if/how other databases implement this feature, and give it such a possibly misleading name. Does anyone else?
I wouldn't consider it misleading. This is the way SET TRANSACTION works in Oracle, regardless of whether or not it is read only. I believe this correspond to the ANSI standard SET TRANSACTION REPEATABLE READ with the added functionality of not allowing DML when set to READ ONLY. -- Jared Still Certifiable Oracle DBA and Part Time Perl Evangelist
