Answer Posted / viren chakraborty
a stored procedure is better when returning one or more
rows.
a function is better when returning a single scalar value.
function and procedure, both can accept parameters and both
also support output parameters.
for programmers, stored procedures are the way to go
because they directly return the result of a given select
statment.
in a function you will explicitly have to return a value
using return statement and returning more than 1 value
using a function is much more complicated.
the procedure is capable of doing all kinds of things
(select/insert/update/delete) and hence, it is better
