Right, that's longer, and only tests one interaction. The isolation spec I posted upthread tests multiple interactions between the session which uses cursors and the system going read-only. Whether the session using a cursor gets a FATAL, just an ERROR, or neither depends on where it is in the process of opening, using, closing and committing. I think that's interesting. If the implementation of the ALTER SESSION READ ONLY feature were to change in such a way as, for example, to make the attempt to open the cursor be a FATAL error, you'd see a change in the test output.
