Best Answer chosen by Jetta

Through the constructor of the Batch class you can do that..i.e if your class is DemoBatch. In the batch class define a List and assign in the Constructor When you will create instanace of batch.. you can do something like..

global class DemoBatch implements Database.batchable<sObject>{
global List<sObject> myList;
global DemoBatch(List<sObject> objList){
myList = objList;
}

}
----------------
DemoBatch  db = new DemoBatch(objList);
db.executeBatch(db);

But you can pass the query string and you can query in the start method.
