Have you consider using the network server configuration? Then
several applications can connect to the same database and there will
be no need for the database to be read-only.
We have considered this option and discarded it for the time being.
Basically, our application isn't client-server, and probably won't be
for a while... probably a long while. We just wanted to implement a
cheap way for two people to look at the same database through our app at
the same time, possibly on different machines (the data would be
accessible via NFS, CIFS, or whatever.) Since no user needs to modify
the database (and doing so would be bad, for various reasons) I figured
that read-only mode could be used to do this.
But it seems that using Connection.setReadOnly(true) doesn't actually
turn on read-only mode anyway.
I guess we could try embedding a server in every client, but then I'm
not sure how a new client would find which host it should connect to.
