Conclusion

There are two main conclusions that can be drawn from these results.

• First, if you are executing the same dynamic queries every time in your script (i.e. without any variables), significant performance gains (in this case, 36%) can be achieved simply by switching to Stored Queries. With this comes the aforementioned fringe benefit of increased ease of query administration. For queries which do contain variables, there are still performance gains to be had, but they are less significant (8% for the query tested).

• Second (and contrary to my own expectations), using the Command object's Parameters collection in preference to simply appending the parameter values to the end of the stored query SQL statement yields only a minor performance increase. In practice it may be worth completely avoiding this collection, especially since it is since the extra complication that it adds to your scripts (i.e. creating parameter objects, defining the data type, setting the value, and then adding the parameter object to the collection) may not
