Re: sequences and cursors

It might be held in the cursor cache, it may even be held in session cursors cache but it will not be counted as an open cursor. My suggestion had diagnostic purpose only. The problem is, probably, with the tool which explicitly closes cursors too frequently and insufficiently sized shared pool which throws cursors out soon after they're closed.
