Background In utilizing SQL for database administration and management, it is sometimes necessary to present data in a manner that may not be consistent with its defined type. For instance, and integer might need to be combined with text. SQL includes functions such as CAST and CONVERT to facilitate such operations. Instructions Perform some research on the CAST and CONVERT functions in SQL and write a minimum 3 page paper in APA format. Your paper should explain the purpose of both the CAST and CONVERT functions, as well as the similarities and differences between the two. Additionally, describe why a database designer or developer would decide to use either CAST or CONVERT. Are there any advantages of one function over the other? Does either function offer options that the other one doesn't? What impact does either function have on performance? Finally, explain which function, CAST or CONVERT, you would probably prefer. Describe your rationale. Your paper should include at least two examples for each function, as well as three different references
