In SQL Server, functions are classified as strictly deterministic, deterministic, or nondeterministic. A function is strictly deterministic if, for a specific set of input values, the function always returns the same results. For user-defined functions, a less rigid notion of determinism is applied...
You can create a database object inside an instance of SQL Server that is programmed in an assembly created in the .NET Framework common language runtime (CLR). Database objects that can use the rich programming model provided by the common language runtime include aggregate functions, functions...

Like functions in programming languages, SQL Server user-defined functions are routines that accept parameters, perform an action, such as a complex calculation, and return the result of that action as a value. The return value can either be a single scalar value or a result set. ...
We work in a calculus of intervals, formulated by James Allen for convex intervals, and by ourselves for unions of convex intervals [All2,Lad2]. We investigate the primitive relations and operations needed for implementing such calculi i... PB Ladkin - National Conference on Artificial Intelligen...
