Hi, I would like to know what I can do to free up space in a full database, I can’t do anything because it has been put in read only mode. Thank you

Hi there,
I just noticed a similar question asked here with a very good answer:
The answer suggests the following:
To remove your database from the read-only mode you will need to do one of the below two options:
- Upgrade to a larger plan from the DigitalOcean Console
- Delete data from your database by changing the transaction mode to read-write for your session by executing:
SET default_transaction_read_only = OFF;
This will enable you to delete data from within your current session.
Hope that this helps!
Regards, Bobby
