RE: Partitions of table read only

The admin guide doesn't say "no transactions in the database". In fact, it specifically says in the tablespace:

" You do not have to wait for transactions to complete before issuing the ALTER TABLESPACE...READ ONLY statement. When the statement is issued, the target tablespace goes into a transitional read-only mode in which no further DML statements are allowed, though existing transactions that modified the tablespace will be allowed to commit or rollback. Once this occurs, the tablespace is quiesced, with respect to active transactions."

There were other transactions in the database, but none affecting that tablespace.

The concepts guide is somewhat ambiguous and could be read either as "in the database" or "against the tablespace" since it isn't specified.

Have I mentioned lately that I hate the docs? :)
