Microsoft SQL Server Development for Everyone - Inline Table-Valued Functions

The video tutorial explains how to create and use inline table-valued functions in SQL. It covers setting up the function template, defining parameters, writing a select query with filtering options, and executing the function to validate results. The tutorial also compares different methods for writing SQL queries and highlights the flexibility of table-valued functions in handling dynamic parameters.

What is the first step in creating an inline table-valued function?

• Writing the SQL query

• Executing the function

• Setting up the function template

• Defining the return type

What data type is used for the parameters in the example function?

• String

• Float

• Integer

• Boolean

Which SQL clause can be used to filter grades between two values?

• ORDER BY

• GROUP BY

• BETWEEN

• JOIN

What is the purpose of using the BETWEEN keyword in SQL?

• To group data by a specific column

• To sort data in ascending order

• To filter data within a range

• To join two tables

How should a table-valued function be called in SQL?

• Using SELECT * FROM function_name

• Using EXEC function_name

• Using CALL function_name

• Using RUN function_name

What can be modified in the function to return more data?

• The SQL query

• The function name

• The database schema

• The parameter types

What is the benefit of using parameters in table-valued functions?

• They enable dynamic data filtering

• They simplify the SQL syntax

• They increase query execution speed

• They allow for static data retrieval
