# Procedures ## What is a Stored Procedure? A stored procedure is SQL code that can be accessed using the SQL `CALL` syntax. Much like a\ function in other programming languages, you can pass values into a stored procedures. Stored\ procedures cannot return results, unlike functions. Database users create procedures. Procedures are schema and are stored along with other schema\ elements in the database. ## Doltgres support for Stored Procedures Doltgres comes with [many built-in stored procedures for version control\ features](/reference/version-control/dolt-sql-functions.md). User created stored procedures are not yet supported but will be added in a future release. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
