Madhu, >I wanted to reduce the open connections by each oracle processes
As was clearly explained (nay! demonstrated) by Tanel, you _cannot_ reduce the open connections as each Db file that contains the requested block will be opened by the server process. MTS is one option, but the basic problem could be that you have way too many Datafiles... Consolidating this files (via CTAS, Export/Import, etc.) will reduce the number of open files, as there will be lesser number of files to open.
