Code:
:!chmod +w %

Don Cragun,
I just tried your solution on one of my files, unfortunately it didn't work.
I opened the read-only file using vi. Then I entered :!chmod +w % and then hit enter. It then asked me to [Hit return to continue]. When I hit enter, and tried to save the file :wq, it says File is read only. Am I missing something here?

ingres_commit - Commit a transaction

SYNOPSIS

       bool ingres_commit (resource  $link)

DESCRIPTION

       ingres_commit(3) commits the currently open transaction, making all changes made to the database permanent.

	This closes the transaction. A new transaction can be opened by sending a query with ingres_query(3).

	You can also have the server commit automatically after every query by calling ingres_autocommit(3) before opening the transaction.

	By default Ingres will roll back any uncommitted transactions at the end of a request. Use this function or ingres_autocommit(3) to ensure
       your that data is committed to the database.

PARAMETERS

	      o $link
		- The connection link identifier

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

SEE ALSO

       ingres_query(3), ingres_rollback(3), ingres_autocommit(3).
