I don't understand the "editable results" section

Hi All,

    I have looked on forums & in Toad's tutorials.  There are discussions about this, but I still don't understand:

    After a select query is run, for instance, there is a results page generated which runs the query and, obviously, returns the results.  However, this section is editable.  So I don't understand, does this mean that these results, as I edit them, are pushed back to the DB, as if I were running an "update commit"?  I am fairly savvy with SQL, but not with this sort of editable interface.  Assuming it is like running an update commit, are permissions automatically checked?  E.g., it will only commit if I have permissions to make changes to that DB, as the user that I've logged in as when making the connection?

    A related question, which is addressed, but not clearly enough for me.  I am trying to adjust my toolbar, and sometimes the commit & rollback buttons are hidden, as well as others.  Is this because, as the user that I'm logged in as, I am not able to commit changes?  I am assuming / hoping this is the case, but I could not find anywhere that explicitly said this.  Otherwise, there is a bug that will not let me add / change icons to the toolbar.

                   Thanks in advance!

Yes we will try to figure out if the query you wrote will generate a result that is editable automatically.

The commit/rollback buttons are visible depending on if you have auto commit enabled.

If you don't have access then just don't edit the data (If you do you would get a database error).
