Making ActiveRecord models readonly

To force an ActiveRecord model to be read only you can do something along these lines:

class DelicateInfo < ActiveRecord::Base

 def readonly?
  true
 end

end

When you try to save the model it will raise an ActiveRecord::ReadOnlyRecord exception:

info = DelicateInfo.first
info.save # => ActiveRecord::ReadOnlyRecord

Note, however, that destroy and delete will still work on the model unless you intercept those calls
