Sorry I don't have the time to help with this right now but, seeing the thread, I wonder --
(a) what you mean by "his local copy is read-only". Is it a read-only database? Or are you just limiting the write privileges for this user on this table?

and (b) if it is a read-only database, how do you plan to update/insert/delete by any means, whether by ad hoc requests or by a proper replication scheme? Maybe total replacement of the database file at intervals or on request?
