This just scratches the surface on what a function can do for you.

We do stuff like this as well:
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[TimeGapTable](@StartTime datetime, @EndTime
datetime, @GapInMinutes int)
RETURNS @TimeGaps TABLE
(
-- columns returned by the function
GapDate datetime NOT NULL,
Time1 datetime NULL,
Time2 datetime NULL
)
AS
-- body of the function
BEGIN
declare @date datetime, @time1 datetime, @time2 datetime, @end datetime
set @date = convert(varchar(20),@StartTime,101)
set @time1 = @StartTime
set @time2 = @StartTime
while @time1 < @EndTime
BEGIN
insert into @TimeGaps ([GapDate],Time1, Time2)
select @date, @time1, @time2
set @time1 = dateadd(n,@GapInMinutes,@time1)
set @time2 = dateadd(n,@GapInMinutes,@time1)
END
RETURN
END
