iSee Decimal Health Checker

User Defined Table Functions know to many of us as UDTFs.  These little beauties are often the backbone for a many of the SQL services that are published as views. For many, just using the View is great, provides a nice clean well formatted way to get at the data.  But once in a while we bump into an issue. Sometimes it’s a performance issue, maybe a data formatting issue, and having a way to get directly at the raw values and maybe get at them in a more focused manner. To help with this, we are going to show you how to see what is available, and how to use the UDTF interfaces that exist and are not documented.  This is your ‘un-official’ permission to make use of these where it makes sense.
