EXECUTE doesn't set FOUND.

I think you'd be well advised to rethink your table layout so you don't
need so much dynamic SQL. The above is going to suck on both
performance and readability grounds, and it doesn't look like it's
accomplishing anything you couldn't do by combining all the Rating
tables into one table with an extra key column.
