RE: Forcing user to log off

You have 2 ways of forcing a user to log off within Oracle.

1. You can use the ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'sid, serial#' SQL command. See your SQL Language reference.
2. You can define a profile that will limit the users login (particularly CONNECT TIME and IDLE TIME) resources by disconnecting them after they reach their threshold. See your Administrator's Guide.

Good luck. I hope this helps.
