Description

It could be useful to prevent data from being mutated in a table or partition. For example this would allow users to lock older range partitions from receiving inserts/updates/deletes ensuring any queries/reports running on that data always show the same results.

There might also be optimization (resource/storage) opportunities we could make server side once a table is marked as read only.
