![]() ![]() Near the end of the 19th century grammarians once again decided that one should only use from after different, in spite of the fact that than and to, while in minority use, still appeared in the writing of many fine authors. We may credit Baker for having introduced the notion that one should avoid different than, but only due to the fact that he was the first to introduce it there does not appear to have been any widespread adoption (or mention of any sort) of his rule over the next hundred years or so. Robert Baker, Reflections on the English Language, 1770 We say different to and different from to the last of which Expressions I have in another Place given the Preference, as seeming to make the best Sense. In spite of these (and numerous other) obstacles, Baker managed to write his book contained in which is our first record of anyone complaining about different than.Ī different Manner than is not English. I confess that I am entirely ignorant of the Greek, and but indifferently skilled in the Latin, where I can construe nothing but what is easy. Not being acquainted with any Man of Letters, I have consulted Nobody. Given that from, than, and to all seemed to be used in conjunction with different without causing the world to crack, why is it that we are so often told that we should stick with different from? Enter Robert Baker.īaker was the author of the 1770 work, Reflections on the English Language, and the possessor of a rather curious range of qualifications for the work of ‘deciding what is right and what is wrong with our language.’ Some of his qualifications and attributes, as given in the introduction to this book, are as follows: Thomas Jordan, Pictures of Passions, Fancies, and Affections, 1641 The symptomes of (what he's afraid to own)Ĭonclude, nought is more different than they. ![]() His bulk, and needlesse magnitude hath shewn Who fain would write himself Man if he durst, by Philemon Holland), The Philosophie, Commonlie Called the Morals, Written by the Learned Philosopher Plutarch of Chaeronea, 1603 trans.), Here Begynneth the Compost of Ptholomeus, 1530įor the ancient Musicians used in their numbers and measure, their variety, much more diverse & different than now it is. The houres of the planettes ben dyfferent to them of clockes. However, different to and different than are hardly recent additions to our language, having also been in use for hundreds of years. Different from is the oldest of these, showing evidence of use back to the 15th century. Create a synonym dbo.CorrectOrder for the dbo.OrderDozen function.There are three common prepositions or conjunctions used with different: from, than, and to. SELECT AS OriginalOrder, AS ModifiedOrder SET += 12 - % Using the dbo.OrderDozen function Query the Product table by using the synonym. Create a synonym for the Product table in AdventureWorks2012.įOR The following example first creates a synonym for the base object, Product in the AdventureWorks2012 database, and then queries the synonym. You do not need permission on the base object to successfully compile the CREATE SYNONYM statement, because all permission checking on the base object is deferred until run time. Synonyms can be created, dropped and referenced in dynamic SQL. Assembly Aggregate (CLR) Aggregate Functionsġ Includes local and global temporary tablesįour-part names for function base objects are not supported.Synonyms can be created for the following types of objects: SQL Server checks for the existence of the base object at run time. The base object need not exist at synonym create time. Is the name of the base object that the synonym references.Īzure SQL Database supports the three-part name format database_name.object_name when the database_name is the current database or the database_name is tempdb and the object_name starts with #. If schema_name isn't specified, the default schema of the current user is used. Is the name of the schema of the base object. If database_name isn't specified, the name of the current database is used. Is the name of the database in which the base object is located. Is the name of the server on which base object is located. ![]() If schema_name isn't specified, SQL Server uses the default schema of the current user. Specifies the schema in which the synonym is created. To view Transact-SQL syntax for SQL Server 2014 and earlier, see Previous versions documentation.
