the stored procedure will be compiled, but will be recompiled on each use as the sql changed. this means that the database can't use the execution plan it has calculated for that procedure. if you're using ms sql server and want to head down this route, one thing you might want to take a look at is sp_executesql which might be able to get away without recompilation. also be aware of the security implications of using dynamic sql in a stored proc, the user executing the procedure has to have permissions on the tables you are trying to select from.
