Sean,

does it mean that if the database is shut down periodically the stored procedure plans would be recalculated ? Shutting the database periodically solves the problem ?

The plan for SP is determined when the SP is invoked for the first time from disk.

So your worse is not as bad you think, but if you are running superserver without the database havng no active connections, the SP will remain in memory and the plan will not reflect the latets index stats.
