How do I test a Table-Valued Function in SQL Server Management Studio?

I've never worked with Database Functions, but my current project requires it. I need to put a common sql query into a function so we don't have to type it out in our code hundreds of times. I've got the function created, but I don't know how to use it.

Here's the function code:

 USE [DB_NAME] GO SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO  ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_GetConfigurationByProfile] (     @profileName AS NVARCHAR(50) ) RETURNS TABLE AS RETURN     (     -- Fill the table variable with the rows for your result set     SELECT  system_settings_groups.ssg_id, system_settings_groups.ssg_name,             system_settings_groups.ssg_parent_group_id, system_settings_names.ssn_name,              system_Settings_names.ssn_display_name, system_settings_values.ssv_value     FROM    system_settings_profiles     JOIN    system_settings_values     ON      system_settings_profiles.ssp_id = system_settings_values.ssv_ssp_id     JOIN    system_settings_names     ON      system_settings_names.ssn_id = system_settings_values.ssv_ssn_id     JOIN    system_settings_groups     ON      system_settings_groups.ssg_id = system_settings_names.ssn_ssg_id     WHERE   system_settings_profiles.ssp_name = @profileName     )  

So how would I use this in a sql query? Do I just use SELECT fn_GetConfigurationByProfile('DEFAULTPROFILE')?

This may be an amateur question, but oh well. I need help :)

How do I run a SQL table valued function?

Description. The simple definition of the table-valued function (TVF) can be made such like that; a user-defined function that returns a table data type and also it can accept parameters.

How do you check if a value is in a SQL table?

How do you find the table valued function?

A table-valued function returns a single rowset (unlike stored procedures, which can return multiple result shapes). Because the return type of a table-valued function is Table , you can use a table-valued function anywhere in SQL that you can use a table.
