Peggy,

For any Oracle parameter that is not defined in the init.ora file, the
default is taken. To find out all parameters that have the default values
(in your case max_open_cursors), issue:

select name, value
from v$parameter
where isdefault = 'TRUE';

To find all other parameters, issue:

select name, value
from v$parameter
where isdefault != 'TRUE';
