Hi Syed,

This is a gross over-simplification, but you can think of it this way: The
parent cursor contains the SQL statement text only, but no execution plan.
Execution plans are found in child cursors. Child cursors are also called
versions. There are lots of reasons why sessions might not be able to share
the same version.
