Strange Cursor leak(?)

edited Mar 19, 2015 2:47PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 10 commentsAnswered

Hello fellow DBAs,

I do have an issue with one of our databases regarding cursors.

A simple SQL statement from the application ("select 11 from dual" in this case) is creating more and more cursors without closing them properly (until max cursors is reached: ORA-1000). The cursors are not explicit created.

Also, the exact same function is used in different modules of the application and only 1 of them has the issue (on the same Instance, but different schema).

We did also have the same issue with a completely different DB and application (and also a simple select statement) and weren't able to solve it. Fortunately the statement was not necessary in the application anymore and could be removed from the code.
