Adding parameter to a MySQL query in MS SQL Server Report Builder

Question

So I have a MySQL DB connected to MS SQL Server Report Builder via ODBC connector. Everything is fine, I can execute queries and put the fields into report.
But I can't add an parameter to the query.
Example query:
SELECT column1, column2 FROM table WHERE column3 = (@parameter1)
The result set is just empty. I think the problem is that I'm using MySQL and not MS SQL. Any suggestion?

Hello Alan,
Named parameters like @param works with SQL Server / .NET data provider, but not for OleDB, here you have to use the question mark instead
SELECT column1, column2
FROM table
WHERE column3 = ? and column9 = ?
When you assign the report parameter to query parameter you have to take care about the order of used ? in query
