Answer 1

taken from here

• When you want to return one or more items with a data type then it is better to use an output parameter.
• Generally, use an output parameter for anything that needs to be returned.
• When you want to return only one item with only an integer data type then it is better to use a return value.
• Generally, the return value is only to inform success or failure of the Stored Procedure.
• A return List item a value of 0 indicates success and any non-zero value indicates failure.
