hi cyril,

open_cursors determines the maximum # of open cursors u can have in ur shared sql area / libray cache of the shared pool. assumimg that u previously had this set to 500. Now when u set it to 1000, obviously oracle needs more memory to handle additional open cursors..

the risks of ur application failing with an out of open_cursors errors far outweigh the memory requirements to maintain these .. and these days when memory is cheap .. it should not impact memory .. i mean its not that this will suck off all available memory
