Defining a Parameter
A parameter is defined in the SQL Data Source inspector on the Parameters page. In the table on the Parameters page, you can enter as many parameters as you need.
A parameter is defined by four characteristics:
*Name
*Type
*Name of the data source that it is attached to
*Column of the data source table that defines the parameter

Note: When a parameter is defined, the parameter name is used. However, when the parameter is used, its name must be prefixed by a colon “:”.
