Subject: read only databases?
Author: Mike Joerms
Date: 1998-12-17 20:58:00It would be nice if you could open a .db file to which you don't have write
access. In many cases, it is necessary to use a database belonging to
another analyst. Most of the time you don't wan't to modify the database.
Currently the only options are to change the permissions to allow access
(allowing accidental mods to occur) or copying the file which chews through
disk space. The ability to open read only databases would also allow the
use of archival databases on CD's or other read only media.
