Answer / srinivas

function and procedure both are stored procedures
function contains return clause,where as procedure does not contain return clause

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 pass function as a parameter,where as we cannot pass procedure as a parameter.
