Function and Stored Procedure both are precompiled objects
in databases but there is some difference between UDFs and
Stored Procedure such as--
1)Function Must be return at least one value but stored
procedure may or may not.
2)We can use Function for only data manipulation but stored
Procedure is used to Manipulation as well as Modification
of Data on tables.
3)We can't use DML statements inside Function but In stored
Procedure, we can use DML statements.
4)In stored Procedure, we can pass INPUT and OUTPUT
parameter but Function accept only input parameter and
return a value.
