It looks like you've
executed the provided code successfully. Here's a breakdown of what each part of the code does:
Drop Existing Scalar UDF: This part checks if the function CalculateCircleArea already
exists as a scalar UDF('FN' stands for scalar function), and if it does, it drops it.
Create Scalar UDF: This section creates a scalar UDF named
CalculateCircleArea, which calculates the area of a circle based on the
provided radius.
Use Scalar UDF: Here, a variable @circleRadius is declared and
assigned a value of 5.0.Then, the scalar UDF CalculateCircleArea is called with
this radius value, and the result is displayed as CircleArea.
Drop Existing Scalar UDF(Again): Similar to the first step, this part checks if the
function CalculateCircleArea exists as a scalar UDF and drops it if it does.
Create Table - Valued UDF: This section creates a table - valued
UDF with the same name CalculateCircleArea.This UDF returns a table with
columns Area and Circumference, calculated based on the provided radius.
Use Table -
Valued UDF: Finally, a variable @circleRadius is declared and assigned a value
of 5.0 again.The table - valued UDF CalculateCircleArea is then called with
this radius value, and the result is displayed as CircleData.
