A user defined function is a collection of Transact-SQL statements that stored in the SQL Server. A user defined function will return data when executed.
A user defined function works in the same way as a system function. It can be used as a scalar expression or a temporary table depending on the turning data format. A system function is provided as part of the SQL Server. But a user defined function must be created and managed by yourself.
