 ## Using APPLY  
  Both the left and right operands of the APPLY operator are table expressions. The main difference between these operands is that the *right_table_source* can use a table-valued function that takes a column from the *left_table_source* as one of the arguments of the function. The *left_table_source* can include table-valued functions, but it cannot contain arguments that are columns from the *right_table_source*.  
 
- The APPLY operator works in the following way to produce the table source for the FROM clause:  
+The APPLY operator works in the following way to produce the table source for the FROM clause:  
 
 1.  Evaluates *right_table_source* against each row of the *left_table_source* to produce rowsets.  
 
-     The values in the *right_table_source* depend on *left_table_source*. *right_table_source* can be represented approximately this way: `TVF(left_table_source.row)`, where `TVF` is a table-valued function.

 2.  Combines the result sets that are produced for each row in the evaluation of *right_table_source* with the *left_table_source* by performing a UNION ALL operation.

 ### K. Using APPLY  
- The following example assumes that the following tables with the following schema exist in the database:  
-  
--   `Departments`: `DeptID`, `DivisionID`, `DeptName`, `DeptMgrID`  
-  
--   `EmpMgr`: `MgrID`, `EmpID`  
-  
--   `Employees`: `EmpID`, `EmpLastName`, `EmpFirstName`, `EmpSalary`  
+The following example assumes that the following tables and table-valued function exist in the database:  
+
+|Object Name|Column Names|      
+|---|---|   
+|Departments|DeptID, DivisionID, DeptName, DeptMgrID|      
+|EmpMgr|MgrID, EmpID|     
+|Employees|EmpID, EmpLastName, EmpFirstName, EmpSalary|  
+|GetReports(MgrID)|EmpID, EmpLastName, EmpSalary|     
 
- There is also a table-valued function, `GetReports(MgrID)` that returns the list of all employees (`EmpID`, `EmpLastName`, `EmpSalary`) that report directly or indirectly to the specified `MgrID`.  
+The `GetReports` table-valued function, returns the list of all employees that report directly or indirectly to the specified `MgrID`.  
 
- The example uses `APPLY` to return all departments and all employees in that department. If a particular department does not have any employees, there will not be any rows returned for that department.

 ### L. Using CROSS APPLY  
- The following example retrieves a snapshot of all query plans residing in the plan cache, by querying the `sys.dm_exec_cached_plans` dynamic management view to retrieve the plan handles of all query plans in the cache. Then the `CROSS APPLY` operator is specified to pass the plan handles to `sys.dm_exec_query_plan`. The XML Showplan output for each plan currently in the plan cache is in the `query_plan` column of the table that is returned.
