Answer 1

no. if you must then use a user defined function to which you can pass parameters into.

Answer 2

I have an idea that I haven't tried yet. You can do:

CREATE VIEW updated_customers AS
SELECT * FROM customer as aa
LEFT JOIN customer_rec as bb
ON aa.id = bb.customer_id
WHERE aa.updated_at between (SELECT start_date FROM config WHERE active = 1) 
and (SELECT end_date FROM config WHERE active = 1)

Your parameters will be saved and changed in the Config table.
