Re: am i doing something stupid, or should i file a bug report? this seems absurd :) thanks

Kind of yes, but then again you can not drop any table (not just the read-only ones) if it contains data. On Fri, Dec 18, 2015 at 2:12 PM, Anthony Damico wrote:

alright, that seems like a small bug then. if a table has zero records, it cannot be protected but if it has one record, it can. thanks all

It is read-only, not write protected:)

I am joking, but we use the read-only property to create non-updatable indeces and perform other optimization that would be impossible to do if there could be updates, appends, inserts etc. into the table.

Now, if the read-only statement means also that you can not drop the table, that is debatable.

Trying creating a table, add one row of values, then make it a read-only and then try to drop it. My bet is it will not be dropped. Then try to delete the row while the table is still read-only, you should not be able.

dropping it isn't updating it?

Doc: "An individual table can be protected using the READ ONLY mode. All attempts to *update* are flagged as a SQL error." As you did not "update" the data, it seems normal I guess.
