Hi When you set up the mysql user use a GRANT statement that only gives SELECT access. That is effectivly read only access for that user

Hello, I have a situation where I'd like to do some debugging against a MySQL database that's setup so I couldn't modify it (select only). I did some google searching and searched mysql.com but didn't find much on "readonly". Is this possible? I already know I can just backup/restore the datafiles as many times as I need to - I was just hoping for a flag or startup option or something.
