Execution plan is not showing the graphical status.

1. I have selected "Actual Execution Plan"
2. I am running a stored procedure in the same session.

But, Graphical plan is not showing. I have only two tabs (Results and Messages). But not "Execution Plan" tab

what would be the reason ?

thank you

May be your Stored procedure been Encrypted!

Because, Execution plan is not displayed for Encrypted objects!

It'll not throw any Error. But, will not show the "Execution Plan" graphical tab!

It show you whether your stored procedure is encrypted or not
Use <Database>

Go
Select Case OBJECTPROPERTY(Object_id('<ProcedureName>'),'IsEncrypted') When 1 then 'It has been encrypted!' Else 'Not encrypted' End [Status]
Go
Note: replace your stored procedure name '<ProcedureName>' and Database Name '<Database>'
