I don’t use readonly with dbeaver, but I do have the prod servers set to automatically make transactions and have to hit a button to commit. Almost certain it asks confirmation that I want to make the changes to prod which is nice too (I rarely have to touch our sql server prod)
Me applying for any database access ever: “read only. I do not want write. READ ONLY.”
Datagrip has an option, and likely other database IDEs do as well - “Connect as READONLY”. Makes me feel a little safer
DBeaver does too
