ORA-01000 maximum open cursors exceeded



Cause: A host language program attempted to open too many cursors. The initialization parameter OPEN_CURSORS determines the maximum number of cursors per user.

Action: Modify the program to use fewer cursors. If this error occurs often, shut down Oracle, increase the value of OPEN_CURSORS, and then restart Oracle.
Question:

I keep encountering ORA-01000 and can't even create a table

Answer:

First, you should try increasing your OPEN_CURSORS and take a look at the application to see if/why cursors are staying open.  Here is an example from a forum:

ALTER SYSTEM SET open_cursors = 400 SCOPE=BOTH;

Furthermore, to resolve ORA-01000, try to close whatever cursors are no longer in use, raise the OPEN_CURSORS parameter within your initialization file, and restart Oracle.

Resolving ORA-01000 try setting this OPEN_CURSORS to a higher number.  Keep in mind when resolving ORA-01000 in this way that changing this value in the proper way should not alter the system performance, but will probably require more memory for cursor storing.

ORA-39014: One or more workers have prematurely exited.ORA-00018: maximum number of sessions exceeded

ERROR: I was Performing a full database import and during the import I faced the below error. ORA-39014: One or more workers have prematurely exited. ORA-39029: worker 6 with process name "DW07" prematurely terminated ORA-31672: Worker process DW07 died unexpectedly. Job "SYSTEM"."SYS_IMPORT_FULL_04" stopped due to fatal error at 00:59:40 ORA-39014: One or more workers have prematurely exited. SOLUTION:  Run the import with fewer parallel processes, like PARALLEL=2 instead of 8. I was able to run the import successfully. NOTE 1: This errors occurs when there are less session allocation in the database. check the session,process parameters and increase them accordingly. To avoid such errors again. NOTE 2 : Note: Increasing processes parameter increases the amount of shared memory that needs to be reserved & the OS must be configured to support the larger amount of shared memory. So here we first need to increase the Memory & SG...
