difference between stored procedure and function?

Answer Posted / m m naidu

A Procedure is a sub-program that performs a specific
action.

A Procedure can be called from PL/SQL Block or from another
Procedure also.


A function is very similar to a Procedure. Both take
arguments, which can be of different modes. Both are
different forms of PL/SQL blocks. Both can be stored in the
database.
A procedure call is a PL/SQL statement by itself, while a
Function call is called as part of an expression. And a
Function must return
