Using FB 2.1.4 I try to tune a query that I know will take hours to
execute due to large table joins etc. I usually see the query plan in
FlameRobin and in Sinática Monitor, but in some cases I don't.

Why can't I see the plan in some cases, and is there a different way
that *would* allow me to see it?

To give you a grasp, the SQL is as follows, and I expect it to return
2-3 hundred thousand records:

select F."ECO_ID"
from "Företag" F /*~2 million records*/
inner join "Uppgiftshanterare" Uhant /*~2 million records*/
on Uhant."ECO_ID" = F."Uppgiftshanterare"
inner join "Uppgiftshållare" UH /*~150 million records*/
on UH."Hanterare" = UHant."ECO_ID"
inner join "Uppgift" Upg /*~170 million records*/
on Upg."Hållare" = UH."ECO_ID"
inner join "Uppgiftsdefinition" Def /*few records (~100 records)*/
on Def."ECO_ID" = UH."Definition"
where Upg."Borttagsuppdatering" + 0 is null
and Upg."Förrådsvärde" in (
