SESSION_MAX_OPEN_FILES

Parameter type	Integer
Default value	10
Parameter class	Static
Range of values	1 to either 50 or the value of MAX_OPEN_FILES defined at the operating system level, whichever is less

SESSION_MAX_OPEN_FILES specifies the maximum number of BFILEs that can be opened in any session. Once this number is reached, subsequent attempts to open more files in the session by using DBMS_LOB.FILEOPEN() or OCILobFileOpen() will fail. The maximum value for this parameter depends on the equivalent parameter defined for the underlying operating system.
