That might be me. :) I mentioned v$sesstat but I didn't provide any query. Which query did you use? Note, statistic# 2 is cumulative and 3 is current.

Folks,

        This last week we had a thread on open cursors running around. I try to keep my mailbox clean to stay under my limits, so I've lost them thread. Anyway someone suggested using V$sesstat instead on V_$OPEN_CURSORS because it was sometimes in error. Well I think someone may have made a mistake as well. The open cursor limit on my DB is 100, but this query returned a value of 204 for a particular user who is not having a problem. On the other hand getting into V_$OPEN_CURSORS gives me a value of 2, which makes all the sense in the world. I've a funny feeling that V$SESSTAT is holding the cumulative number of cursors, not the current ones.
