Hello, I am planning to setup an alert for couple scenarios.

Scenario 1

Alert when total number of open cursor for a session is exceeding 250.

select sum(a.value), s.username, s.sid
from v$sesstat a, v$statname b, v$session s
where a.statistic# = b.statistic#  and s.sid=a.sid
and b.name = 'opened cursors current'
and s.username='APPREAD'
group by s.sid,s.username
having sum(a.value) > 250

Scenario 2

Alert when more than 10 cursor opened for the same sql_id.

SELECT
       (select name from v$database) as db_name,
       s.username,
       voc.SQL_ID,
       voc.SQL_TEXT,
       count(1) as open_count
  FROM v$sesstat  a,
       v$statname b,
       v$session  s,
       v$open_cursor voc
 WHERE a.statistic# = b.statistic#
   AND voc.USER_NAME = s.USERNAME
   AND voc.SID = s.SID
   AND s.sid = a.sid
   AND b.name = 'opened cursors current'
   AND s.status <>'KILLED'
   AND (s.username in('APPREAD'))
   AND a.value > 200
   group by s.username,voc.SQL_ID,voc.SQL_TEXT
   having count(1) > 10


Just checking if the query is good enough to handle these two scenarios.
Please let me know! thank you again and appreciate your support.

Are you aware that the database comes with the Server Generated Alert system? Enable it by setting thresholds with the dbms_server_alert package. The OPEN_CURSORS_CURRENT metric sounds relevant.

What will you do when you are informed more than 10 cursor are opened for the same sql_id?
BTW - based upon what criteria was the threshold of 10 selected?

John Watson, Thanks for your input. I will look at server generated alert..

BlackSwan,

What will you do when you are informed more than 10 cursor are opened for the same sql_id?
I will ask developers to look at and see if there is any cursor leak.

BTW - based upon what criteria was the threshold of 10 selected?
I just starting with 10. I may adjust this threshold value later.

Between, you have not answered for my question. Smile

SQL in SGA is a shared resource.
In a multi-user, OLTP environment you should expect more than 1 user to be executing same SQL at the same time.

IMO, any real "cursor" leak should be detected during Unit Testing & prior to deployment into Production.

Is application 3-tier?
Does application utilize Connection Pooling?
What is maximum number of concurrent end users accessing the application at any point in time?

When you start out asking the wrong question, it really does not matter what answer is provided.
