Table Hints (Level 2)
SQL Server 6.x SQL Server 2000
These table hints (previously called optimizer hints) could be specified as just the keyword following the FROM clause:

FASTFIRSTROW,
HOLDLOCK,
INDEX,
NOLOCK,
PAGLOCK,
TABLOCK,
TABLOCKX,
and UPDLOCK.

 Table hints must be specified following the FROM clause using a WITH clause. Table hints must be enclosed in parentheses.

Expect different results as compared to earlier versions of SQL Server. For more information, see DELETE, FROM, INSERT, SELECT, and UPDATE.
