ORA-01000 maximum open cursors exceeded - increasing

edited May 8, 2015 9:24AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered

When running a session against an Oracle 11g (11.2.0.4 database) we are encountering an error ORA-01000. Looking at the

init.ora.313201515266 file in the pfile directory I see that max open cursors = 300 (seems to be the default value).

Despite from asking the developers why the gotta have such a large number of open cursors for theit web application and whether they cannot keep track of their cursors more effeiciently,

I'm wondering how I have to proceed in raising that number such that it is stored persistently in the database immediately and at next boot time

without having to alter too much in the database configuration files.

Howdy, Stranger!
