RE: database decommission checklist

A database opened with the ALTER DATABASE OPEN READ ONLY command. As their name suggests, read-only databases are for queries only and cannot be modified  

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/tspaces.htm#sthref1224

You can drop items, such as tables or indexes, from a read-only tablespace, but you cannot create or alter objects in a read-only tablespace.  

Thanks,

Gus,  

Can't you just do:

alter tablespace <tablespace_name> read only;  

for each of your application tablespaces? That way, it doesn't matter how the database is opened...?
