Is there a way to see what the "high water mark" is for the number of simultaneously open cursors? (Oracle 8.1.7.4, AIX 5.2) I know that I can determine the current value with: select count(*) from (select distinct address,hash_value from v$open_cursor); I would like, however, to see the what the maximum was since the last time the database was restarted.
