How to set a MySQL database to read-only mode

When we need to set the database as read-only on the fly (such as rebuild MySQL replication purpose) and we will use one of the following scripts. I have tested and turns out, we need to run both commands to ensure that there is no writing input to the database.

To Set a database to read-only mode in Mysql: 

FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK;

SET GLOBAL read_only = 1;

To Set the database back to Read+Write mode:

SET GLOBAL read_only = 0;

UNLOCK TABLES;
