SQL Server函数，比如游标，是你最后的武器!它们确实存在性能问题，因此应该尽可能避免使用表值函数。谈论性能就是谈论一个有超过1,000,000条记录的表托管在一个中产阶级硬件的服务器上;否则，您不需要担心函数对性能的影响。

永远不要使用函数将结果集返回给外部代码(如ADO.Net) 尽可能使用视图/存储procs组合。您可以使用DTA(数据库调优顾问)给您的建议(比如索引视图和统计数据)来解决未来的增长性能问题——有时!

如需进一步参考，请参阅:http://databases.aspfaq.com/database/should-i-use-a-view-a-stored-procedure-or-a-user-defined-function.html

It is mandatory for Function to return a value while it is not for stored procedure. Select statements only accepted in UDF while DML statements not required. Stored procedure accepts any statements as well as DML statements. UDF only allows inputs and not outputs. Stored procedure allows for both inputs and outputs. Catch blocks cannot be used in UDF but can be used in stored procedure. No transactions allowed in functions in UDF but in stored procedure they are allowed. Only table variables can be used in UDF and not temporary tables. Stored procedure allows for both table variables and temporary tables. UDF does not allow stored procedures to be called from functions while stored procedures allow calling of functions. UDF is used in join clause while stored procedures cannot be used in join clause. Stored procedure will always allow for return to zero. UDF, on the contrary, has values that must come - back to a predetermined point.

要决定何时使用以下几点可能会有所帮助-

存储过程不能返回表变量，而函数可以这样做。 您可以使用存储过程来更改服务器环境参数，而使用函数则不能。

存储过程与用户自定义函数的区别:

Stored procedures cannot be used in Select statements. Stored procedures support Deferred Name Resolution. Stored procedures are generally used for performing business logic. Stored procedures can return any datatype. Stored procedures can accept greater numbers of input parameter than user defined functions. Stored procedures can have up to 21,000 input parameters. Stored procedures can execute Dynamic SQL. Stored procedures support error handling. Non-deterministic functions can be used in stored procedures.

User-defined functions can be used in Select statements. User-defined functions do not support Deferred Name Resolution. User-defined functions are generally used for computations. User-defined functions should return a value. User-defined functions cannot return Images. User-defined functions accept smaller numbers of input parameters than stored procedures. UDFs can have up to 1,023 input parameters. Temporary tables cannot be used in user-defined functions. User-defined functions cannot execute Dynamic SQL. User-defined functions do not support error handling. RAISEERROR OR @@ERROR are not allowed in UDFs. Non-deterministic functions cannot be used in UDFs. For example, GETDATE() cannot be used in UDFs.

下面是一个总结差异的表格:

当你想要计算并返回一个值以供其他SQL语句使用时，编写一个用户定义函数;当您想要编写存储过程时，您可以将一组可能很复杂的SQL语句分组。毕竟，这是两个非常不同的用例!
