A table function is user-defined. It returns a result set as a table variable. Table functions can be queried like regular tables by using the TABLE function in the FROM clause. Table functions are only supported in the Database First workflow. Entity Framework 6.0 includes support for table functions.
Table Function implementations require type mapping changes. See Mapping Data Types and Functions for more information.
