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.

How to Improve Oracle Data Pump Performance - IMPDP

  How to Improve Oracle Data Pump Performance:- Use Parallelism : Set the PARALLEL parameter to at least 2 * number of CPUs . This allows multiple worker processes to perform tasks simultaneously, speeding up both export and import processes. Example: PARALLEL=4 for a system with 2 CPUs. Perform Import Using NETWORK_LINK : Use the NETWORK_LINK parameter to import data directly from the source database. This method is particularly helpful when space is constrained, as it streams the data without needing to generate dump files on the source. It can also reduce time compared to exporting and then importing, as data is streamed directly from the source to the target database. Disable Archivelog Mode (Standalone Databases) : For standalone databases, temporarily disable archive logging during the import process. Import operations can generate a lot of redo logs, slowing down the import. Disabling...
