  SQL Statement Invalid or Dropped: If the SQL statement has been invalidated or dropped, the execution plan will not be retrievable.
  
  
  Database Statistics: Outdated or missing statistics for the tables involved in the SQL statement can lead to issues in generating an execution plan.
  
  
  Database Configuration: Certain database configurations or settings may prevent the generation of execution plans.
  
  
  Permissions: The user executing the SQL statement may not have the necessary permissions to access the execution plan.
  
  
  Solutions
  
  
  Execute the SQL Statement: Ensure that the SQL statement has been executed at least once. This will allow the database to generate and store the execution plan.
  
  
  Check SQL Validity: Verify that the SQL statement is valid and has not been dropped or invalidated. You can do this by checking the SQL syntax and ensuring that all referenced objects exist.
  
  
  Gather Statistics: If the issue is related to outdated statistics, you can gather statistics for the relevant tables using the DBMS_STATS package. For example:
  EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS('schema_name', 'table_name');
  
  
  Check Database Configuration: Review the database configuration settings to ensure that they are set up correctly for execution plan generation.
  
  
  Permissions: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to access the execution plan. You may need to grant additional privileges if required.
  
  
  Use EXPLAIN PLAN: If you want to manually check the execution plan, you can use the EXPLAIN PLAN statement to generate the execution plan for the SQL statement:
  EXPLAIN PLAN FOR <your_sql_statement>;
