IS vs AS keywords for PL/SQL Oracle Function or Procedure Creation [duplicate]


I've never known there to be a difference. The Oracle documentation implies that they are synonyms:

The function body begins with the keyword IS (or AS) and ends with the keyword END followed by an optional function name.


Same as DISTINCT and UNIQUE in select statements.i.e, there is no material difference between 'IS' and 'AS'.Backwards compatibility and meeting standards
