通过profile可以对用户会话进行一定的限制，比如IDLE时间。
将IDLE超过一定时间的会话断开，可以减少数据库端的会话数量，减少资源耗用。
使用这些资源限制特性，需要设置resource_limit为TRUE：
[oracle@test126 udump]$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

创建一个允许3分钟IDLE时间的PROFILE
SQL> CREATE PROFILE KILLIDLE LIMIT IDLE_TIME 3;
Profile created.
新创建PROFILE的内容：
SQL> col limit for a10
SQL> select * from dba_profiles where profile='KILLIDLE';

测试用户：
SQL> select username,profile from dba_users where username='EYGLE';
USERNAME PROFILE
------------------------------ --------------------
EYGLE DEFAULT
修改eygle用户的PROFILE使用新建的PROFILE：
SQL> alter user eygle profile killidle;
User altered.
SQL> select username,profile from dba_users where username='EYGLE';
USERNAME PROFILE
------------------------------ --------------------
EYGLE KILLIDLE
进行连接测试：
[oracle@test126 admin]$ sqlplus eygle/eygle@eygle
