What are the "Shared Cursor (KKS) errors" = ORA-44201 - 44300

Question

Hi,
Does anybody know what are the "Shared Cursor (KKS) errors" supposed to raise Oracle errors ORA-44201 till 44300?
I am currently facing an 'ORA-44201: cursor needs to be reparsed' using Oracle DB EE 10.2.0.3!
The 11g documentation is mentioning: "Action: Investigate possible causes of resource contention."
Many Thanks in advance,

Hi Rob,
For sure, the error message generated by our 10.2.0.3 db is ORA-44201: cursor needs to be reparsed.
I have posted a thread in Database - General:
The environment: OS: Solaris 10 / DB: 10.2.0.3 / OWB: 10.2.0.2 / Workflow: 2.6.4
I am facing this ORA-44201 when calling a function developed to create a materialized view on a prebuilt table:
FUNCTION mv_create (p_mv_name IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN NUMBER
IS
v_query VARCHAR2 (4000);
v_active NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT mv_query, mv_active
INTO v_query, v_active
FROM mtd_materialized_view
WHERE mv_name = p_mv_name;
IF (v_active = 1)
THEN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW '
|| p_mv_name
|| ' '
|| 'ON PREBUILT TABLE '
|| 'WITH REDUCED PRECISION '
|| 'ENABLE QUERY REWRITE AS '
|| v_query;
END IF;
RETURN 1;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
THEN
raise_application_error (-20250,
'Create materialized view '
|| p_mv_name
|| ' failed: not found in metadata'
RETURN 3;
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
raise_application_error (-20251,
'Create materialized view '
|| p_mv_name
|| ' failed unexpectedly: '
|| SQLERRM
RETURN 3;
END mv_create;
-- End of mv_create function
The error message:
ORA-20251: Create materialized view MV_IA_COMN_MTLY failed unexpectedly:
ORA-44201: cursor needs to be reparsed
ORA-06512: at "CIS_DWH_FCT.CIS_L_FCT_XCH", line 507
ORA-06512: at line 1
I am totally blocked and need your help!!!
