    • Table-valued assembly functions (FT)
    • Inline table-valued SQL functions (IF)
    • Internal tables (IT)
    • System tables (S)
    • Table-valued SQL functions (TF)
    • User tables (U)
    • Views (V)

    for more info I have given the link below and if you have any specific question let us know,
