read only oracle database tips

Oracle Database Tips by Donald BurlesonMarch 24, 2015

Question:  How do I open my database as read-only?  I want the entire database to be read-only and I need the command example script.

Answer:  You can make a read only user and make read only tablespaces but you can also make the entire database read-only with an alter command. 

SQL> startup mount
ORACLE instance started.

SQL> alter database open read only;

Database altered.

SQL> select open_mode from v$database;

OPEN_MODE
----------
READ ONLY

To make it a permanent read-only database you might be able to place the alter command in a Oracle startup trigger The Oracle docs offer this example of opening a database in read-only mode, using a startup trigger:

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER
   manage_service

after startup on database
DECLARE
   role VARCHAR(30);
BEGIN
   SELECT DATABASE_ROLE INTO role FROM V$DATABASE;
   IF role = 'PRIMARY' THEN
      DBMS_SERVICE.START_SERVICE('sales_rw');
   ELSE
      DBMS_SERVICE.START_SERVICE('sales_ro');
END IF;
END;
