Total cursors open, by session:
select a.value, s.username, s.sid, s.serial#
from v$sesstat a, v$statname b, v$session s
where a.statistic# = b.statistic# and s.sid=a.sid
and b.name = 'opened cursors current';

As far as I know queries on v$ views are based on pseudo-tables ("x$" tables) that point directly to the relevant portions of the SGA, so you can't get more accurate than that; however this also means that it is point-in-time (i.e. dirty read).
select sql_text, count(*) as "OPEN CURSORS", user_name from v$open_cursor
group by sql_text, user_name order by count(*) desc;
appears to work for me.
Here's how to find open cursors that have been parsed. You need to be logged in as a user with access to v$open_cursor and v$session.
COLUMN USER_NAME FORMAT A15
SELECT s.machine, oc.user_name, oc.sql_text, count(1)
FROM v$open_cursor oc, v$session s
WHERE oc.sid = s.sid
GROUP BY user_name, sql_text, machine
HAVING COUNT(1) > 2
ORDER BY count(1) DESC
;
If gives you part of the SQL text so it can be useful for identifying leaky applications. If a cursor has not been parsed, then it does not appear here. Note that Oralce will sometimes keep things open longer than you do.
1)your id should have sys dba access 2)
select sum(a.value) total_cur, avg(a.value) avg_cur, max(a.value) max_cur,
s.username, s.machine
from v$sesstat a, v$statname b, v$session s
where a.statistic# = b.statistic# and s.sid=a.sid
and b.name = 'opened cursors current'
group by s.username, s.machine
order by 1 desc;
Oracle has a page for this issue with SQL and trouble shooting suggestions.
"Troubleshooting Open Cursor Issues" http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E40329_01/admin.1112/e27149/cursor.htm#OMADM5352
I use something like this:
select
user_name,
count(*) as "OPEN CURSORS"
from
v$open_cursor
group by
user_name;
