  How to use it: 
  To use pushdown formula, users must first create a formula in the application layer. This formula can then be pushed down to the database layer, where it will be executed. The results of the calculation will then be returned to the application layer. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a pushdown formula, it is important to ensure that the formula is optimized for performance. This can be done by using variables and parameters instead of hard-coded values, and by using functions that are supported by the database.
