Q97. Why would you use stored FUNCTIONS?
[ ] 1 for formulas and business rules that you want to apply to columns in an SQL query
[x] 2 for formulas and business rules that should be applied on a specific trigger event like on inserts

I wonder why (2) is the correct answer? Why not answer (1)?
It is about functions. In the trigger I have all the data and I do not need to pass function parameters, I can use a procedure in that case.

Option 1: Stored Functions for Formulas and Business Rules in Queries

Imagine you're working with a lot of information in a database. Sometimes, you want to do the same kind of calculation or operation on different pieces of that information. A stored function is like a special tool you can create. You tell it how to do a specific job, and then you can use it over and over again on different parts of the data.

Option 2: Stored Functions in Trigger Events

Now, think of a trigger as a kind of alarm in your database. It goes off when something important happens, like when a new piece of information is added (inserted). When this happens, you might want to do some special tasks right at that moment. A stored function can be like a helper that knows how to do those tasks. It doesn't need extra instructions because it already knows what to do with the information that triggered the alarm.

So, both options are like tools in a toolbox. One is good for doing the same task on different data, and the other is good for doing specific tasks when something important happens. They're just used in different situations, but they're both very handy!
