It's come up a few times ... more than an un-overridable read-only mode anyway. Also, I should think that those who want a secure read-only mode want it enforced selectively --- for instance, assuredly read-only for some users but not others. I can hardly see any use case for the patch as proposed; it seems to have all the disadvantages of a low-level read-only mode (eg, not selective) without any of the advantages. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
