Lock table only allow INSERT

[leecho]

Hi,
recently, i was assigned as a new dba for our system. I found that my
statistic keep change from time to table. To look for the cause, i
wanna to lock a table, means only allow user to insert. Others than
that, noway.

Can i use the Lock table command? or others comand?

p/s: we are using 9i client and 6i developer

not sure if your plan is the best approach -- you might not last too long as
a new dba if you prevent users from selecting or updating data they just
entered

however, if you feel there's a legitimate case for making a table
'insert-only' (kind of like one of those black hole neutron star thingies)
you would have to do it via table privileges, not via the lock statement

i would suggest that you elaborate on the problem that you are trying to
solve so that posters can suggest alternative approaches to accomplishing
your goals
