Using Functions in SQL Statements

This document contains a quiz about user-defined functions in SQL. The questions cover topics such as valid locations for function calls in SQL statements, benefits of user-defined functions, and what can be coded within a user-defined function. Some key points covered are that user-defined functions can extend SQL functionality, be reused many times, and add business rules to the database. They cannot perform the same job as built-in system functions. Valid locations for function calls include the WHERE clause of a SELECT and DELETE and the VALUES clause of an INSERT.
