Richard,
I tried the following simple PL/SQL
created the package
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE partest AS -- package spec
PROCEDURE insert_dummy_details(num INTEGER);
END partest;
Created the body
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY partest AS -- package body
PROCEDURE insert_dummy_details(num INTEGER) IS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO pardummy values(num);
END insert_dummy_details;
END partest;
created pardummy table
compiled & executed it
count in v$open_cursor increased by 1.
Also, i executed the query which you mentioned.
It showed the corresponding insertion sql text with the status CURBOUND
Does it mean that a cursor is open in session which can be counted against open_cursor for that insert statement.
