Re: avoid dynamic SQL

Can you give some examples of the formula, please? what version are you on? In 11g (and 10.2.0.4 with backport and event [1] ) you can use dbms_shared_pool.purge to purge single sql statements. Maybe that helps?
Another method I would try is to handle the cursor of your execute immediate explicite and close it asap afterwards.

But as I have to confess I does not know what really causes the ORA-4031, these are all pure suggestions. Can you check what fills up your SGA?

best regards,
