title: Syntax for a SAP HANA Query with Input Parameters
body: <p>I'm new to SAP HANA SQL syntax and am having trouble defining input parameters.  I've done several Google searches and found several different suggestions, none of which have worked.  In SQL server, I would define parameters for a query this way:</p>
  <pre><code>DECLARE @StartDate DATETIME,
          @EndDate DATETIME;
  
  SELECT EmployeeName,
         EmployeeTitle,
         Salary,
         PositionStartDate,
         PositionEndDate
  FROM EmployeeData
  WHERE 1 = 1
    AND PositionStartDate = @StartDate
    AND PositionEndDate = @EndDate
  </code></pre>
  <p>How would I write this same query in SAP HANA SQL syntax?  Any help or direction that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated!</p>
