Hi,
If I have a user that is restricted to select access (only) on a single table, is there any way to prevent that user from starting a transaction?
The reason for the question is that the select-only user can block another session trying to run an alter table on that table if the select-only user runs their query in a transaction.
This happened to us recently where a migration script that was being run during a ci deployment 'hung' until the select-only user happened to disconnect. I'm wondering if we need to terminate any sessions from select-only users at the start of the migration, or if there is a better way.
Thanks,
Steve
