Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded
Dave,
When I ran into this error using AP Oracle Applications, I was told this
could be set as high as I wished with no performance hit up front (the
cursors are not allocated, only allowed). In fact, the support analyst
couldn't come up with a good reason why it shouldn't be set to the maximum
for the platform (on Solaris at the time it was 1000). I suspect there is a
reason, but getting the transactions through AP far outweighed the potential
performance impact ;) (I didn't see any, but was really chasing other,
larger performance issues at the time).
