What is
Functions?

A stored function (also called a user function or user-


defined function) is a set of PL/SQL statements you can call by
name. Stored functions are very similar to procedures, except that
a function returns a value to the environment in which it is called.
User functions can be used as part of a SQL expression.
Stored May or may not return
Procedure value

Functions will surely Stored


return value using OUT
Functions

The function must return a value but in Stored Procedure it is optional. Even a
procedure can return zero or n values. Functions can have only input parameters
for it whereas Procedures can have input or output parameters. Functions can be
called from Procedure whereas Procedures cannot be called from a Function.
Stored Functions Syntax
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTIONS Output parameter is a parameter whose
value is passed out of the stored
<function_name> procedure / function module, back to the
(Argument {IN, OUT, IN/OUT }* calling PL/SQL block. An OUT parameter
must be a variable, not a constant.
<Data type> )Return <var> IS,AS It can be found only on the left-hand side
<variable> declaration; of an assignment in the module.
PL/SQL functions can't able to return multiple
<constant> declarations; values,it can return only one (single
BEGIN )values using OUT parameters in their
<PL/SQL subprogram body>; arguments.
EXCEPTION PL/SQL BLOCK>; *IN – parameter will accept a value from user
Return <variable> OUT – Parameter will return value to user
END <function_name>;
