Isn't this what stored procs are supposed to be?  If a stored proc is
defined
with parameters, then the query plan is saved, and the execution of the
statement
is saved the effort of having to recompile the plan.  In fact, I think that
SQL 
Server, and possibly Oracle as well, store the plan for any query sent, and
then 
drop it when the connection is terminated.  Perhaps this is something to
think 
about.
