I need a quick ‘no’ for DELETE/UPDATE/INSERT, since 3p reporting tool allows users to write their own SQL.
I know that I should probably add a new user and set permissions on tables/sp/views/etc…, and then create a new connection as restricted user.
Is there a quicker way to force a transaction or connection in SQL Server to read only mode?
Does it have to be with named users ? I have a ‘report’ user and a ‘browser’ user that just has select rights on most tables. Anyone that needs data uses those accounts and since they are select only I don’t have to worry about them.
