Syntax options: TRANSACTION MODES | NO TRANSACTION MODES TRANSACTION MODES provides the list of allowable transactions for this user. Please see the SET TRANSACTION MODES clause of the CREATE DATABASE and ALTER DATABASE statements for more details of txn-modes. The transaction modes specified may include modes disabled for all database users by CREATE, IMPORT, or ALTER DATABASE statements. However, only the subset allowed by both profile and database settings will be used. For instance, if the database specifies (READ ONLY, SHARED READ, PROTECTED READ) and the profile specifies (READ ONLY, SHARED), the session will be allowed the subset (READ ONLY, SHARED READ). See the description in the CREATE PROFILE statement for all other attributes supported by ALTER PROFILE.
