Seems they forgot that sql comes with privileges. And would imagine most people just leave the default to all (GRANT ALL ON *.* TO *; usually root) (tried inserting a zero width space, but the forum removed it lol, otherwise I get a ). As mentioned before the tyranny of the default. You could even have one process do the select and another inserts or updates, guess it depends on paranoia or security concerns
