Hello, Command Prompt has been teaching alot of classes lately, and one of the questions that I received recently was: What is the use case for a READ ONLY transaction? I haven't been able to come up with a good answer. Anyone got a use case for this feature? I know the community didn't implement it for giggles. Sincerely, Joshua D.
