load properties of a connector profile

a profile is a section in the dbprofils.ini.php file

with getProfile('myprofile') (or getProfile('myprofile', false)), you get the profile which has the name "myprofile". this name should correspond to a section name in the ini file

with getProfile('myprofiletype',true), it will search a parameter named 'myprofiletype' in the ini file. This parameter should contains a profile name, and the corresponding profile will be loaded.

with getProfile(), it will load the default profile, (so the profile of "default" type)
