MySQL and MariaDB functions are database objects that encapsulate a series of SQL statements and return a single value based on the input parameters. They provide a way to perform calculations, manipulate data, or retrieve information within a query or in a standalone manner.

MySQL and MariaDB provide a wide range of built-in functions for various purposes, including mathematical operations, string manipulations, date and time processing, data type conversions, aggregate functions, and more. These functions are part of the MySQL or MariaDB server and can be used directly in SQL statements.

MySQL and MariaDB also support user-defined functions, which can be used to create functions to perform specific operations that are not available through built-in functions.

Functions can be used in SQL statements, including SELECT, WHERE, HAVING, and ORDER BY clauses, as well as in expressions and calculations.

Functions help simplify complex operations, improve data retrieval, and enable efficient data processing within the database.
