Maximum Open Cursors Exceeded - Oracle & Java

Question

I am using NetBeans ( Forte 5) for developing an application with Oracle Database. My application makes use of executeUpdate, executeQuery statements inorder to access Database.
After few insertions and deletions of data through the host language( Java), my application stops working. It gives out the error.
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded[/b
Is this the problem with Forte or Oracle. I am using Oracle in a network in which i have got a tablespace in the Database server.
How to tackle this problem.

Answer 1

I am using 3 methods preparedStatements
1. execute - returns boolean
2. executeQuery - returns ResultSet
3. executeUpdate - returns int
I am closing the ResultSet object returned by executeQuery using
close() method.
Is this the correct way to close the open cursor.
I access the table attributes using a rs.getString(colNum) and
rs.getInt(colNum)
Even then i am getting the maximum open cursors exceeded message.
Will Oracle open a cursor for execute and executeUpdate which is not returning a ResultSet object .
If Oracle opens a cursor for these two methods, how should i close the open cursor.
