To make sure I have this right, if a Query is submitted to SQL Server and it's not part of a Stored Procedure, SQL Server has to generate a plan for it everytime?Thanks
No. Ad-hoc SQL statements have their plans cached and reused just like stored procedures Only difference is the matching is on statement text not object id.
