RE: max_open_cursors

Hi All,

        max_open_cursors of 2000?

        What programmer can handle 2000 open cursors at once?

        Remember this is per session.

        The default is 40, if a programmer can explain to me the
        cursors he has to maintain open, and that number is > 40
        then I will increase the number to 100.

        This has happened to me once in > 10 years DBAing (and
        the programmer was one of these brilliant people where I
        just nod my head in awe when he speaks :)

        2000 open cursors is a code problem. Happens alot in
        JAVA where they will not finish/close their result
        set.
