DO3696-ORACLE11 - The Oracle RESOURCE_LIMIT parameter should be set to TRUE - 'resource_limit = true'

Information

The Oracle RESOURCE_LIMIT parameter determines whether resource limits are enforced in database profiles. If Oracle resource limits are disabled, any defined profile limits will be ignored.

NOTE: This does not apply to password resources.

Solution

Enable resource limit checking on the database.

From SQL*Plus:

 alter system set resource_limit = TRUE scope = both;

The above SQL*Plus command will set the parameter to take effect immediately and permanently at next system startup.
