# DatabaseReadOnly

Set `DatabaseReadOnly` to `True` to make the database read-only. When a database is read-only, you cannot add, expire, or delete content. You can still retrieve the content in queries.

NOTE: Set `DatabaseReadOnly` to `True` for a database only after you have stored data in the database.
