Great question.

But the version should have been specified. In SQL 2000 you can see the execution plan even for encrypted procs. Although that would probably have been a dead giveaway of the correct answer



Just because you're right doesn't mean everybody else is wrong.

Hi,

I never created any encrypted stored procedure. So I just guessed, any my guessing was correct.

Good Question, in our development we have only one Proc with encryption and i was doing some R&D on it, it helped me to answer this Question.

The question missed the version of SQL Server targetted, however, this behaviour is still confusing.

From books online:
However, the text will be available to privileged users that can either access system tables over the DAC port or directly access database files. Also, users that can attach a debugger to the server process can retrieve the decrypted procedure from memory at runtime. For more information about accessing system metadata, see Metadata Visibility Configuration.

(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187926.aspx)

Wouldn't we call viewing the execution plan a debugging exercise?

No. Not for the purposes of this question nor for the article referenced. I would call reading the execution plan a performance exercise.
