Hi,

I am using PL/SQL packages for data manipulataion etc. I am calling these pacakges from Java.If run the packages from Java, my SQL cursors(select stmts) are still open after completion of my task.So I am not able send more requests.My requests are failing some point of time.

My Sessions are not closing after completion of my task.

Please advice to improve the performance.

Regards,
Gajanan

Try to close the cursors before you exit the program.

Thnq for quick response.

Actually I am not using explicit cursors in the packages. I am using Implicit cursors and I am commiting from Java.

Why the cursors are not closing?

How to close the cursors and How to tune the packages in Oracle?

Please advice.

Regards,
Gajanan

Implicit cursor are automatically closed when you go out of their scope.
It is more likely you use explicit cursor in your package or statement in Java you don't close.

Well it should close by itself. However, if the program terminates abruptly it may not get a chance to clean-up after itself. What are the symptoms? Do you get ORA-01000 errors?

You are right, implicit cursors will close automatically after issues commit but it is not closing some point of time.
After some point of time, all the requests to my package are failing.

I am using the folllowing for checking open cursors.Is it right to see the open cursors.

Please advice.

select USERNAME, USER#, OWNERID, STATUS, SERVER, SCHEMA#, OSUSER, PROGRAM, SQL_TEXT
from v$session , v$open_cursor
where v$session.sid = v$open_cursor.sid
and USER_NAME='BAM'and STATUS = 'INACTIVE';

Please let me know How to tune my pacakges?

What do you mean by "all the requests to my package is failing"? Do you get Oracle errors? After the Java program exists, can you still see its session on the DB?

I am using collections in the packages that means I am getting more than one record from Java.So I have to process those records.I am getting proper records and I am processing properly but if more records comes from java and it is failing becoz of open cursors.

If I will get less records also still I am seeing open cursors after exiting from Java.

I am seeing the opened cursors in the DB and I am not getting oracle errors.

Why the cursors are not closing?

I am using following paramters.
open_cursors=500
Processes=800
Sessions=850

So, why do you think cursors are to blame? Maybe you should rather refine the program's error handlers.

Just a last couple of remarks:

1) If you do get ORA-01000 errors, just increase your open_cursors parameter (your value is relatively small).

2) Your v$open_cursors query doesn't return what you think it should. Remember that Oracle can mark a cursor as "closable" and actually keep it open for later reuse.

Best of luck.

One more thing Frank, i missed one point here is...

After some point of time, connection is lost from java to db.

Why it is happening?

Because your program is a mess! I guess you will have to spend some time to debug it.
