Answer / srinivas
Function returns only one value, whereas procedure returns
multiple values.
Function can be used in SQL queries whereas we can't use
procedures.

Answer / allabakash
function and procedure both are stored procedures
function contains return clause,where as procedure does not contain return clause
function must return a value, where as procedure may or may not return a value
function can execute as a select statement, where as procedure can execute in anonymous block
we can call function in if statement, we cannot call procedure in if statement
we can call function as a part of expression,where as procedure as a statement
we can pass function as a parameter,where as we cannot pass procedure as a parameter.
