Hi Gurus, Every week, we do a logical export of the whole production database. It used to work until I encounter the "ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded"
Command : exp userid='system/system_pwd' file=$ORA_EXP_FILE grants=y rows=y constraints=y compress=y full=y inctype=complete log=$ORA_EXP_LOG Error message : Connected to: Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.6.1.0 - Production With the Partitioning option JServer Release 8.1.6.1.0 - Production Export done in US7ASCII character set and US7ASCII NCHAR character set About to export the entire database ... . exporting tablespace definitions EXP-00008: ORACLE error 604 encountered ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully Qn : * Before exporting, we startup the database in restrict mode. Is it the same for you gurus out there ? * If I were to increase the cursor, how many should I increase to (Current value=300) ? Please help.
