vishwanath.G writes "Hi all

I have used UDF extensivily in my development environment, but still I would like to know wether the UDF is a compiled peace of code like Stored procedure are not?


I would like to know even I have used certain function as table valued functions for return columns
I have one question, which will perform by using the function or direct Sql statement for the columns


ex
dbo.fn_ITemDetails(ItemID)
ASSUME ITEMID = 10
select ItemName,MRP,UOM from dbo.fn_ITemDetails(10)
or
select ItemName,MRP,UOM from Ite Master where ITEMiD = 10

which one will perform better please let me know


thanks"

As regards to your first question, answer is yes.

Answer to your second question depends on the contents of the table-valued function you are using. Post it here and we can get some understanding about it.
