+* Add the ability to prevent writes to a database for the duration of a block.
+
+ Allows the application to prevent writes to a database. This can be useful when
+ you're building out multiple databases and want to make sure you're not sending
+ writes when you want a read.
+
+ If `while_preventing_writes` is called and the query is considered a write
+ query the database will raise an exception regardless of whether the database
+ user is able to write.
+
+ This is not meant to be a catch-all for write queries but rather a way to enforce
+ read-only queries without opening a second connection. One purpose of this is to
+ catch accidental writes, not all writes.

* Allow aliased attributes to be used in `#update_columns` and `#update`.
