How is the result of a stored function stored or retrieved?Using the SQL INSERT statementUsing the SQL UPDATE statementBy assigning it to a variable in PL/SQLBy executing a SELECT statement

The result of a stored function can be stored or retrieved in several ways:

1. Using the SQL INSERT statement: You can use the result of a stored function as a value to be inserted into a table. For example, if you have a function that calculates the total price of an order, you can use this function in an INSERT statement to store the result in a table.

2. Using the SQL UPDATE statement: Similarly, you can use the result of a stored function in an UPDATE statement to update the value of a column in a table.

3. By assigning it to a variable in PL/SQL: You can call a stored function in a PL/SQL block and assign the result to a variable. You can then use this variable in your PL/SQL code.

4. By executing a SELECT statement: You can also retrieve the result of a stored function by calling it in a SELECT statement. This will return the result of the function as part of the result set of the SELECT statement.
