IBM Worklight Adapters read-only and transactional access modes means?

Question

I was going through Worklight documentation and came across the topic Benefits of IBM Worklight adapters; Adapters provide various benefits, one of them per the documentation is:

Read-only and Transactional Capabilities: IBM Worklight adapters support read-only and transactional access modes to back-end systems.

What is the meaning of read-only and Transactional modes? and is there any specific configuration to enable this configuration?

Answer 1

There is nothing to "enable" per-se. This is just the nature of using SQL adapters.

This is nothing unique to Worklight.

• See this definition for "Database transaction"
• Read-only means just that IMO: A database that can be opened (=used for) only for read access.
