Methods can be divided into two types:
- Normal methods
These methods is methods that manipulates data in the database.
- Read-only methods (PRAGMA methods)
These methods are methods that are connected to a PRAGMA that guarantees that the method never writes to the database.
This means that PRAGMA methods always are read-only. All PRAGMA methods is automatically granted when the package is granted.
