Answer / sivacharan svs
Funtion Should Return a value
Procedure may or may not return a value
Function can be used in Your Select Quries
Procedure has to be passed with or with out parameters

Function returns date time here
The resultant value of the stored procedure can be used in
application where as the resultant value of the stored
procedure is used in a query.
