Is there a way to time out an idle terminal connected to Oracle? I have IDLE_TIME set to 20 in the profile and resource_limit is true. This does not time out an idle terminal. What is the meaning of the values in V_$SESSION.LAST_CALL_ET? Oracle documentation is less than illuminating. All it says is "LAST_CALL_ET NUMBER The last call". This is from Oracle9i Database Reference,Release 2 (9.2),Part Number A96536-02. Any help, examples, or stories of "how we did it" would be greatly appreciated. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
