Database end You need to increase the number of allowable open cursors at the database end. Please lookup your Oracle documentation to get to the right point.
Close ResultSets This happens because you do not close ResultSets. Rule - close everything Remember that the rule is to close every resource you open. If you do not use connection pooling be sure to close connections. Story / analogy We ran into such problems when we did load testing of an application at 250 simultaneous users. Oracle does not clean out open anonymous cursors for half-an-hour after they are opened. Cheers Rajesh -----Original Message----- at rare, random times we get the following error from our oracle 8i server (8.1.7): java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded before anything I must say that we do close all our PreparedStatement, but not the ResultSet. AFAIK not closing the ResultSet shouldn't be a problem. We even had some tests on this issue and they were successfull. the maximum open cursors in our init.ora is 300 and we are using tomcat 4.1.12 ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ This email and any attached to it are confidential and intended only for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
