parse and performance on store procedure

Hi All,

My question is: can the parse of this command bellow afect the perfomance of my store procedure.

SET @sql = 'insert xxx select TOP ' + CAST(@a as varchar)+ ' * from yyy where zzz = ''' + @zzz + ''' and yyy = ''' + @yyy + ''' order by zzz desc, yyy desc, www desc' exec (@sql)

Thanks

Sergio

Yes it does.

whenever u r doing a dynamic query make sure u give index hints on select statements
(Index = zzz_yyy_Non_Cluster_Idx)

so that Query optimizer doesnt have work on what plan to choose.
