A table function is a user-defined function that returns a result set as a table variable. These table functions can be queried like a regular table 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.
