This is part of a research report on an epidemiological study.
I'm not sure if this just means something like 'finalized' or has some particular technical meaning.

froze the database
"freeze" came to my mind. It means, that the database is still up and running, but it doesn't allow for further input, modification or rollback. Usually users can still read (query) it. The purposes of doing so vary, from backup to taking a snapshot for analyses/stats, etc. Does it go well with the rest of the sentence?

Note from asker:
| Thanks. Re Shinobi's comment, funnily enough I thought the opposite. If something is finalized, this implies it cannot undergo further change. |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Shinobi
: Both locked and freeze give the impression that no further data can be added, which is not the case. Finalize is better.
