Sami, 'cached_cursors' is not a valid hint, at least not in 9i.
Or at least, I can find no reference to it. And 'cached cursors' as it appears in the SQL is not a valid hint syntax. You need to set the session_cached_cursors value in the init.ora, and bounce the database. This parameter cannot be set dynamically, at least as of 9i.
