We have an application where we just read the data from the database. So, does it need to have any kind of transactions?
I believe transactions would be helpful in case we add/update any data. Please help me in understand if transactions are required for reading the data only?
Can you guarantee that nothing, not even another application, will ever write to the database? If so, you don't need transactions. But if there's even the slightest chance that something or somebody will write to the database while your application is running, you need transactions when you read something.
