Why do we setup parameters in Source Adapter in FDMEE

I've been following fishing with fdmee and he mentions in post #2, step #4. Defining the source parameters (extract filters) [http://fishingwithfdmee.blogspot.com/2016/02/universal-data-adapter-uda-direct-db_17.html ]
Why do we do this? He mentions that "In a typical data extract from database we usually use filters." I want to extract all the data in the source columns, so do I need parameters?

You only need to add parameters if you are going to filter the data, it is just like adding a where clause to a select query, if you are not interested in bringing back a subset of data from a table then you don't need to add a parameter.
