MAX_CURSOR_COUNT option

Function

Specifies a resource governor to limit the maximum number of cursors that a connection can use at once.

Allowed values

Integer

Scope

Can be set for an individual connection or the PUBLIC group. Takes effect immediately. DBA permissions are required to set this option for any connection.

Default

50

Description

This resource governor allows a DBA to limit the number of cursors per connection that a user can have. If an operation would exceed the limit for a connection, an error is generated indicating that the limit has been exceeded.

If a connection executes a stored procedure, that procedure is executed under the permissions of the procedure owner. However, the resources used by the procedure are assigned to the current connection.

You can remove resource limits by setting the option to 0 (zero).
