What is the difference between “AS” and “IS” in an Oracle stored procedure?

Question

I see Oracle procedures sometimes written with \"AS\", and sometimes with \"IS\" keyword.

CREATE OR REPLACE Procedure TESTUSER.KILLINSTANCE (INSTANCEID inte         


        

Answer 1

The AS keyword is used instead of the IS keyword for creating a standalone function.

[ A standalone stored function is a function (a subprogram that returns a single value) that is stored in the database. Note: A standalone stored function that you create with the CREATE FUNCTION statement is different from a function that you declare and define in a PL/SQL block or package. ]
