Have a look to Grant and User Privileges. You can create a read only user, put him only select priv, and then use this user for read only ... Or modify an existing user to only set select privilege to him, do you work, and after give him back write access ... http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/GRANT.html Hope this help.
