Hi All.

We are struggling to track down a recurring problem in exceeding the maximum open cursors threshold within Oracle. This problem seems to creep up over a period of time. We've seen it rear its ugly head about 3 times in the past month, and it brings the portal to a screeching halt. We steadily increased the threshold in Oracle, but now we are above the recommended value (500 - 1000), and we are not having a lot of luck tracking down the root cause.

Our portal implementation is very basic at the moment. We have a controlled audience, and we do not currently allow user customizations in the environment in question. A lot of the documentation and chat on this issue talks about ensuring that all cursors and result sets are closed when finished, but there is some speculation over how actively that has to be managed. Additionally, we have looked into the implications of connection pooling, and that seems to push the solutions into a more shadowy area.

If anyone has any advise on where to look or what to look for, it would be greatly appreciated. I hate to call people out, but I did see Mr. Petro's name on some of the DBCPDataSourceFactory code comments. I hope he has a notion to comment (Andrew?), because I may have some additional questions on that piece of the puzzle as well.

Thanks a bunch everybody...

Tim
