  Solution:
  
  Run EXPLAIN Command: Manually run the EXPLAIN command for the SQL statement in question on the database. This will generate the execution plan and store it for future reference.
  Database Administration: Consult with your database administrator to ensure that the database is configured to automatically generate execution plans for SQL statements.
  Re-evaluate Execution Plans: If there have been changes to the database schema or SQL statements, consider re-evaluating the execution plans for affected queries.
  Performance Tuning: Analyze the performance of the SQL statements and consider optimizing them if necessary. This may involve adding indexes, rewriting queries, or adjusting database parameters.
  Check Database Logs: Review database logs for any additional errors or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
  
  Related Information:
