What are the differences between stored procedures and functions.

Whenever there are more input, output parameters i go for stored procedure. If it is only one i will go for functions.

Besides that, is there any performance issue if i use more stored procedures? I am worried as i have close to 50 stored procedures in my project.

How they differ conceptually.

Thanks in advance!

EDITED:-

When i executed a calculation in stored procedure and in functions, i have found that in stored procedures it is taking 0.15 sec, while in function it takes 0.45sec.

Surprisingly functions are taking more time than stored procedures. May be functions are worth for its reusability.

Inline functions executes quicker than strored procedures. I think, this is because multi-select functions can’t use statastics, which slows them down, but inline table-value functions can use statistics.
