The max open cursors include necessary cursors to run direct sql submitted by user and the cursors needed to run recursive sql by the system.

Hi,

We're currently getting a lot of ORA-1000 errors (max open cursors exceeded) on Oracle 8.1.7.4.

I tried looking at v$open_cursor and saw the following:

  1* select sid, count(*) from v$open_cursor group by sid order by count(*) desc
SQL> /        SID COUNT(*)
---------- ----------

         9         43
         8         38
        11         38
        27         38

{snip}

This seems inconsistent with our open_cursors parameter of 255.

Is there something I'm doing wrong, or something else I can check to try and determine if this parameter is set incorrectly perhaps, or am I looking at v$open_cursor incorrectly. Part of the difficulty is that our application connect to the database via 24 database connections - all sharing load. My understanding though is that each of the 24 connections should allow 255 cursors to be open and our highest connection is only showing 43 in v$open_cursor.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as people are getting anxious.

Regards,

     Mark.
