The problem is that PostgreSQL doesn't have a "read only" mode. So
you can't really do it this way.
Is there a way to make a RAMDISK on Win32? If so, Tom Lane's
suggestion is probably the best one. Set up a RAMDISK, put your data
directory there, and presto. Of course, that means you need enough
physical memory to hold the database, which might cause problems.
What about using the CD-ROM to copy a version of the database onto
the hard drive? You could delete it when your application shuts
down, I guess; you'd still need that much free space for your db,
though.
