Hi,

I'm getting the read only error on a database EDB_ERROR_READONLY (403)
but for the life of me can't figure out why, I have not knowingly
changed any permissions or set anything to read only.

Any ideas? I've checked the Database Privileges and folder attributes
the catalogue and data files are in, all seems normal.

Thanks,

Phil

I just reverse engineered the database to a script, deleted the database
and recreated the database and executed the script, now it's not
read-only any more and I can write to it again. Still puzzling how this
occurred.

Phil,

Most of the time this type of problem is caused by attempting an operation
on the Configuration database instead of the actual database that you
intended.
