Re: select only user

Thanks!!!
"ALTER USER username SET default_transaction_read_only to true" worked.

One more question:

where do I see the current setting of "default_transacton_read_only (true for false) for each user on the system? Is there a table that keeps this kind of info for all users?

Thanks again,
Jessica

Almost forgot - there is another way if the role in question would be
read-only:

ALTER USER username SET default_transaction_read_only to true;
