Hi Timur,

Excellent point.  I don't use either feature that often, and hadn't really 
considered the difference.

Mark,



http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/glossary.htm#sthref4193

A database opened with the ALTER DATABASE OPEN READ ONLY command. As their name 
suggests, read-only databases are for queries only and cannot be modified



http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/tspaces.htm#sthref1224

You can drop items, such as tables or indexes, from a read-only tablespace, but 
you cannot create or alter objects in a read-only tablespace.



Thanks,

Timur Akhmadeev

Gus,



Can't you just do:

alter tablespace <tablespace_name> read only;



for each of your application tablespaces? That way, it doesn't matter how the 
database is opened...?
