RE: ERR: ORA-04031 unable to allocate

Jared:
I did look at this article.
I'd buy that I have a shared pool problem if I were seeing other problems in the database.
However, I'm still confused that I see the problem only with this 1 query, that it's so easily reproducible only for this query, and the the other 100-or-so users in the database have not experienced problems.

The database was bounced last night. I did increase open_cursors, just for grins. I'll take a look this morning and see how things look. Thanks!
Barb
