title: with(nolock) or (nolock) - Is there a difference?
body: <p>
  <em>Everything is based on the assumption that with(nolock) is entirely appropriate for the situtation.  There are already plenty of questions out there debating whether or not to use with(nolock).</em></p>
  
  <p>I've looked around and haven't been able to find if there is an actual difference between using <code>with(nolock)</code>:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-sql prettyprint-override"><code>select customer, zipcode from customers c with(nolock) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or just <code>(nolock)</code>:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-sql prettyprint-override"><code>select customer, zipcode from customers c (nolock) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a functional difference between the two?  Stylistic?<br>
  Is one older than the other and has a chance of being deprecated?</p>
