As per my knowledge in oracle a function must return a value where as stored procedure cannot. IS this also true in postgresql. If yes how can we acheive it?
As I have already mentioned, PG Only Support Functions and whatever you want to implement/acheive you can do with Functions too.
About returning novalue from Function, you can write a function which will not return any value (return VOID).
Following is an link which you can use for information on Functions.
