Hi there,
Read-only allows all connections to be able to read off the database.
What is the the real purpose/benefit of "Read-Only Intent"? I know you have to change your connection string to include read-only intent before it can read data off the db, but what is the purpose of doing this? from my perspective it's just another extra step to a process.
Can someone enlighten me on what the benefits are in read-only intent? Wouldn't I rather just put all secondary replicas to read-only and be done with it? No need to add extra strings to connect.
If you can provide a scenario that would be great to help me understand this better. I'm reading a bunch of information about it, but it's just telling me it forces the application to add read-only intent to the connection string.
Thanks!
