Describe different types of general function used in sql?..

Answer / Shashank Pandey

"In SQL, there are two main types of functions: scalar functions and table functions. Scalar functions return a single value, while table functions return a result set that can be queried like a table. Examples of scalar functions include built-in functions (e.g., LENGTH, SUBSTRING), user-defined functions (UDFs), and system-defined functions. Table functions are used to create reusable queries, which can be used in the SELECT statement as if they were tables."
