sql query Check User defined function exists or not

To check if a function exists in a SQL Server database, query the system catalog views. Use the `OBJECT_ID` function to search for the function's identifier. If `OBJECT_ID` returns a non-null value, the function exists; otherwise, it does not. This method helps ensure the presence of a specific function before using it in your queries or applications.

The `OBJECT_ID` function in SQL Server is used to retrieve the internal identifier (object_id) of a database object, such as tables, views, functions, or stored procedures. It takes the name of the object as its parameter and returns the unique identifier associated with that object. This function is often used in SQL queries and scripts to check the existence of objects, reference them, or perform various operations based on their object_id.
