MariaDB Error 1325: Cursor Already Open
Description
MariaDB Error 1325, 'Cursor is already open', indicates an attempt to open a database cursor that is already in an active state. This typically occurs in stored procedures or functions when an `OPEN CURSOR` statement is executed for a cursor that has not been previously closed, leading to resource management conflicts and preventing further operations.
Error Message
Cursor is already open
Known Causes
3 known causesMultiple OPEN Statements
Attempting to execute an `OPEN CURSOR` statement for a cursor that is already active within the same stored procedure or function scope, without an intervening `CLOSE CURSOR`.
Improper Loop/Conditional Logic
Programmatic errors within stored procedures where an `OPEN CURSOR` statement is inadvertently executed multiple times inside a loop or conditional block without proper logic to close the cursor first.
Missing CLOSE Statement
A `CLOSE CURSOR` statement is omitted, either due to oversight, an unhandled exception, or an incorrect execution path, leaving the cursor open for a subsequent `OPEN` attempt.
