This ORA-01000 error comes when current open_cursors exceeds the defined open_cursor parameter database.
SELECT max(a.value) as highest_open_cur, p.value as max_open_cur FROM v$sesstat a, v$statname b, v$parameter p WHERE a.statistic# = b.statistic# and b.name = 'opened cursors current' and p.name= 'open_cursors' group by p.value; HIGHEST_OPEN_CUR MAX_OPEN_CUR ---------------- ----------------------- 320 300 SQL> show parameter open_cursor NAME TYPE VALUE ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------ open_cursors integer 300
Here we can see the highest_open_curosor is more than max_open_cursor. So to avoid this, increase the open_cursor values in spfile.
SQL> alter system set open_cursors=1000; System altered.
Now you shouldn’t get this error.
For more information you can use the below query to find what session was causing the issue.
select a.value, s.username, s.sid, s.serial# from v$sesstat a, v$statname b, v$session s where a.statistic# = b.statistic# and s.sid=a.sid and b.name = 'opened cursors current' and s.username is not null; VALUE USERNAME SID SERIAL# ---------- ------------------------------ ---------- ---------- 2 SYS 12 61990
