Dear All,

We have a strange issue for a common error. We are running a PLSQL Package and we are hitting "ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded error". When I checked the gv$open-cursor, I found that 90% of the open cursors has a sql termed "SELECT NULL FROM DUAL;"

Kindly please let us know how to move forward on this issue? Is this a cursor leak in the package or is there anything that needs to be set in the DB side?

Regards,
DK

I have seen similar from Java coders who would be challenged to be spell checkers at an M&M factory.

This is NOT an Oracle RDBMS problem, but an application problem.

Most likely a dumb conversion from a Sybase... application to an Oracle one converting "begin transaction" to "select null from dual".
Review the code and remove all these statements.
