I doubt it's that complicated.  DBA_TABLES now includes a READ_ONLY
column.

THanks Mark, Connor and Rock. I was not looking for the syntax. 
 
I was looking for an explantion or maybe a paper on the internal details
on how a read write table gets converted to read only. If table has
extents all over a tablespace does Oracle mark the extent headers of the
table as READ ONLY which prevents future updates?  
If it was a simple task I wonder why Oracle did not have this feature in
older versions. 

I am also checking to see if people have used this feature in their
envorinments. If so i want to see how efficient it is or any lessons
learned type of things.

        Ric and Connor gave you the mechanics of this. But I suspect
from the way you phrased your question that the difference between a
table that Oracle is protecting from changes (READ ONLY table) and a
tablespace that you don't have to back up any more.

        List

         

        Does anyone know how 11g is able to convert read write tables to
READ ONLY and back when the extents are all over mixed in with other
tables in a tablespace?
