    Views don't take parameters. Take a look at table valued functions.
    And nothing in the SQL Server database engine runs like that ('asking for values'). You need some other tool to do that for you (eg, SSRS, a Windows app or a Web app).

    The absence of consumable DDL, sample data and desired results is, however, evidence of the absence of my response

  • Makes me think the OP is thinking in terms of Oracle, which can do that...

  • Or Access

    Yeah, you can't get that functionality from SQL Server alone.  While both Oracle and MS Access can do that, SQL Server uses either stored procedures that can then work with parameters, or functions (preferably table-valued for performance) (also able to work with parameters).  You either EXECUTE a stored procedure or you SELECT from a table-valued function or include a scalar function in a SELECT statement.  Prompting for parameter values isn't something SQL Server does.

    Probably closer to reviled than inherently bad.   It's all a matter of use case.   Most people abuse it, and that's where the grief lies.   It's as much a tool as any other piece of software, but rarely gets the credit it deserves, or the proper usage.
