readWrite

The option to specify whether you want to make the dataview writable to perform database maintenance. The following are some considerations related to writable dataviews.



  • You cannot create partial writable dataviews. When you create writeable dataviews you must provide the entire database path.

  • You cannot perform updates on a writeable dataview. Hence, autoUpdate must be set as False if readWrite is True for a dataview.

  • You must also use a unique volume for creating a writeable dataview. So, if you choose a volume that is already in use by another dataview, the dataview creation fails.

  • Once you create a dataview as writeable, you cannot change it to read-only. So, you cannot update the readWrite parameter later.
