Linda,
Check Doc IDs 76684.1, 18591.1 and 1012266.6 on Metalink for notes on what
these numbers mean, why they differ and some tuning info.

Subject: RE: Number of open cursors
I need to find the count of cursors currently open which count against the open_cursors limit in init.ora, and the expected behavior when the limit is reached and/or exceeded. References to documentation or dissertations are appreciated.
According to the queries below, I have between 510 and 1871 cursors open, and my init.ora limit is 200.
I have failures in the front end web product, BroadVision, and am unlikely to have the debug capabilities turned on from that side. I'm stuck trying to determine SQL failures from the Oracle side. SQL trace level 4 will be turned on in the next recycle, and I do not have control of the executing SQL for testing purposes.
References are welcome. If I've made something unclear, please let me try again.
Regards, Linda

Hi !
THe better picture can be obtained from
V$SYSSTAT because V$OPEN_CURSORS
will not inlde the dynamic cursor stats
SELECT name,value from V$sysstat
where name like '%cursor%;
