Table functions are methods for constructing tables.

You can use table functions in:
* [CREATE TABLE AS <table_function()>](../create.md#create-table-query) query.
It's one of the methods of creating a table.
* [FROM](../select.md#select-from) clause of the `SELECT` query.
The method for creating a temporary table that is available only in the current query. The table is deleted when the query finishes.
