Answer / santosh(ssit)
Both functions and procedures can return values. Apart from
this following are the differences
1) Functions are used for computations where as procedures
can be used for performing business logic
2) Functions MUST return a value, procedures need not be.
3) You can have DML(insert,update, delete) statements in a
function. But, you cannot call such a function in a SQL query..
eg: suppose, if u have a function that is updating a table..
you can't call that function in any sql query.
- select myFunction(field) from sometable; will throw error.
4) Function parameters are always IN, no OUT is possible
5) Function returns 1 value only. procedure can return
multiple values(max. 1024)
6) Stored Procedure :supports deffered name resoultion
Example while writing a stored procedure that uses table
named tabl1 and tabl2 etc..but actually not exists in
database is allowed only in during creation but runtime
throws error Function wont support deffered name resolution.
Stored procedure returns always integer value by default
zero. where as function return type could be
scalar or table or table values(SQL Server).
Stored procedure is pre compiled exuction plan where as
functions are not.
7) A procedure may modifiy an object where a function can
only return a value.

Answer / priya.
Procedures v/s functions.
1.A function MUST return a value. A procedure can also
return value, but it is NOT MANDATORY for Procedure to
return a value.
2.A function can return only ONE value. A procedure can
return MULTIPLE values.
3.A function can be used with SELECT statements as like as
other in-build functions. But, a procedure cannot be used
with SELECT statements.
4.A function cannot be executed directly from SQL prompt
using EXEC command, but it is possible to execute directly
from SQL prompt using EXEC command.
