Consider the following query, for example:

SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE OrderId=10248

In this query, the value 10248 is a constant. If the server were unable to auto-parameterize the query, a value other than 10248 would result in a separate execution plan being generated. Instead, the server is intelligent enough to replace 10248 with a parameter marker and supply 10248 as the value of the parameter for a given execution ...
