Customer upgraded the DB Repository for Oracle Waveset from Oracle 10g to Oracle 11g.
Cursor sharing was set to SIMILAR as per the Oracle Waveset Documentation in 10g.
Child cursors were getting released in 10g. Customer noticed child cursors were not getting released in 11g.
As per the documentation in MOS 1169017.1 cursor sharing should be exact or force.
The recommendation to set the 'cursor_sharing' option as 'SIMILAR' was to remedy the known issues when 'cursor_sharing' was set to be the default 'EXACT' option in previous versions of Oracle Waveset and Oracle 10g as repository.
Since the Oracle 11g database deprecates the 'SIMILAR' option, the recommendation now is to set 'cursor_sharing' to 'FORCE'.
