Raj, I could be wrong here...
My understanding is that SQLite is 'Zero configuration' meaning that the underlying file system handles such issues as read/write access to a given database. I have not seen any DOCs on a "Read-Only mode". If you create a database, and later change the file permissions to have read but not write; you can still read the database from command line [and should be able to from perl DBI]. Hope this helps, Christian Werner -----Original Message----- From: Sripathi Raj [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2006 1:27 PM To: sqlite-users@sqlite.org Subject: [sqlite] Read-only mode Hi, What's the Read-only mode used for in SQLite? How do I specify that the SQLite database should be opened in the Read-Only mode? I'm accessing SQLite from Perl. Thanks, Raj
