I have a sql machine. I am trying to switch from RAID 0 TO RAID 1. My question is: I would like to set up the database that I am running on the sql machine to read only (so people can see access it) but I would like to restrict the writing to it while I make the switch. Is this possible? Is there a good way to do this?
Thanks

Sure, you can toggle read-only mode on and off like this:

ALTER DATABASE foo SET READ_ONLY

ALTER DATABASE foo SET READ_WRITE
