SQL syntax/parameters help!

[fishysushii]

Two questions:
I'm running SQL off of XAMPP, using the command
source /path/test.sql
How would I pass in command arguments? I know that to use the arguments within the script i use #1, #2, etc, but how do the arguments get passed in?

My second question is, what is wrong with this syntax? I keep getting error messages but can't figure out whats wrong.
SELECT * FROM t
WHERE #1>start AND #2 <end
OR #1<start AND #2 BETWEEN start and end
OR #1 BETWEEN start and end AND #2>end
OR #1<start AND #2>end;
