i'm using oracle 9i database and application server is also oracle 9i application server,my main problem is when my application is busy with many processes, sunddenly i got error "maximum number of processes exceeded" and my all users get errors and they will thrown out from application, to resolve this i have to restart my apps server instance. i am trying to find reasons of this problem but i consfused when query on v$session,$process & v$sqltext. every time i gets different queries in inactive sessions. there are so many sessions available in v$session with the status 'INACTIVE'. on the other hand in v$process process is available but i cant find query from v$sqltext related to above process's hash_value. my processes limit is set to 150.i'm not too much familier with java coding. i would like to know that this problem is with database side, application server side or application coding side?

Yes, the problem is in one of those but we don't have enough details to guess which it is.

Increasing SESSIONS in initSID.ora file will make the problem go away for a while.

The odds are, you don't really know what the odds are.

Inactive session does not mean dead session, it means session that does now, in this very microsecond, nothing.

> my all users get errors and they will thrown out from application,

I SERIOUSLY doubt this accurately reflects reality.
I suspect that previously connected users stay connected.
Users requiring a new connection, fail to get connected.

Since we have no idea about the application running on the app. server(s), we don't have enough information to guess at a "long term" solution.
