Stephen Russell said "I beg to differ. Each time you submit a query statement the server must create an execution plan for it. "
We've had this discussion before: according to my SQL Server book this is not true for v2000 and later - execution plans are cached and if a subsequent query differs only in the values in the where clause (~ 'parameters') the plan is re-used. Foxpro's sqlprepare() may also be relevant, but I don't know how it is handled by the bach-end.
