Developers and DBAs often struggle to balance performance with maintainability when working inside large SQL Server databases. One solution is the user-defined function (UDF), a reusable block of T-SQL logic that simplifies complex queries and keeps code modular. 

This guide explains the different types of UDFs, from scalar to table-valued and inline table-valued, and shows step-by-step how to create function in SQL with practical examples from the AdventureWorks2022 database. It also highlights best practices, common pitfalls, and performance considerations when introducing UDFs into production systems. 

Data just doesn’t sit still, why should your systems? 

Take a look at how database replication becomes the backbone of resilient, real-time data environments. From high availability to read/write scale-out, this guide explores what works and why dbForge Studio for SQL Server (your one-stop SQL Server IDE) means smooth replication, schema sync, scheduling, monitoring, and more. 

Key highlights: 

Snapshot vs Transactional vs Merge vs Peer-to-Peer: pick your replication mode wisely. 

Synchronous vs Asynchronous replication: consistency or speed — your call. 

Replication ≠ backup: live data flows, not just stored copies. 

How CDC (Change Data Capture) supercharges efficiency in near-real-time scenarios. 

How dbForge Studio delivers end-to-end control of replication, from comparison to automation.  

In the era where data is THE business asset, make sure yours keeps moving, resilient, and ready for what’s next.
