Line 35:
User-defined functions should not be confused with [[stored procedure]]s. Stored procedures allow the user to group a set of SQL commands. A procedure can accept parameters and execute its SQL statements depending on those parameters. A procedure is not an [[expression (programming)|expression]] and, thus, cannot be used like user-defined functions.
 
Some database management systems allow the creation of user defined functions in languages other than SQL. Microsoft SQL Server, for example, allows the user to use [Microsoft .NET Languages|.NET languages]] for this purpose. DB2 and Oracle support useluser-defined functions written in C or Java programming languages.
