  Causes:
  
  Missing or Incorrect Metadata: The metadata for the entity (like a table, view, or function) may be incomplete or incorrect, leading to the inability to determine parameter types.
  Inconsistent Data Dictionary: There may be inconsistencies in the data dictionary, such as missing definitions or references.
  Changes in Database Structure: If there have been recent changes to the database structure (like renaming fields or changing data types) that have not been properly updated in the system, this error can occur.
