stored procedures versus UDFs (Which we have had forever).
What's the difference between UDF and stored procedure ?
Here are a couple of GGIYF references:

They are similar but they offer different functionality. At least in

Hmm, the only real difference I see - is that SP are precompiled.
I think we should clearly outline what is SP and what is UDF and do we
are working on SP or just improving and extending our functions.

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
