In this particular case, viewed alone, there's no reason to do this. However, you might have another query somewhere else like this: select emp.name, emp.salary from emp where emp.id = 325 I think this would generally result in two execution plans, which would essentially be the same. In that case, why have the database do the work of recalculating the second execution plan?
