What is the difference between stored procedure and function?
Which is the better procedure or function to store?
Because they are pre-compiled, Stored Procedures are very fast. The execution plan does not need to be re-worked every time the optimiser runs it. A Stored procedure returns results in a table format. Functions can either be Scalar (returning one result) or Tabular data.
The next question is: What is the difference between a stored procedure and a function in Oracle? The difference is that a function must return any value by default, while a procedure can use parameters such as IN OUT or OUT to get the results. A function can be used in normal SQL, but a procedure cannot be used in SQL statements.

A stored procedure is a collection of SQL statements that have been created and saved in the database. The stored procedure accepts input parameters, so that multiple clients can use the same procedure over the network using different input data.
What is the purpose of procedure?
Because stored procedures require fewer calls to the database, they offer better performance. If a stored procedure contains four SQL statements, it only takes one call to the database, instead of four for each SQL statement.
