stored procedure and function [Resolved]

Functions can be called inside select stmt but not the procedures

A function always return a values while procedure can return one or more values through Parameters.

A function can call directly by sql statement like select func_name from dual while procedure cannot.

procedure can call in another project but function work in same project .


you can use DDL stmt inside function.

Hi,

Difference between Store Procedure and function

1. Procedure can return zero or n values whereas function can return one value which is mandatory.

2. Procedures can have input, output parameters for it whereas functions can have only input parameters.

3. Procedure allow select as well as Data Manipulation Language statement in it whereas function allow only select statement in it.

4. Functions can be called from procedure whereas procedures cannot be called from function.

5. Exception can be handled by try-catch block in a procedure whereas try-catch block cannot be used in a function.

Thanks
