select * from dbname.dto.tablename(NOLOCK)

print(LineageRunner(sql=sql,dialect="tsql") )

output:

with(NOLOCK) is ok

select * from dbname.dto.tablename with(NOLOCK)

Can you share the language manual for the first SQL statement?

I can only find corresponding docs for second statement: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/queries/hints-transact-sql-table?view=sql-server-ver16 , where Table hints syntax is defined as

WITH  ( <table_hint> [ [ , ] ...n ] )

<table_hint> ::=
{ NOEXPAND [ , INDEX ( <index_value> [ , ...n ] ) | INDEX = ( <index_value> ) ]
  | INDEX ( <index_value> [ , ...n ] ) | INDEX = ( <index_value> )
  | FORCESEEK [ ( <index_value> ( <index_column_name> [ , ... ] ) ) ]
  | FORCESCAN
  | HOLDLOCK
  | NOLOCK
  | NOWAIT
  | PAGLOCK
  | READCOMMITTED
  | READCOMMITTEDLOCK
  | READPAST
  | READUNCOMMITTED
  | REPEATABLEREAD
  | ROWLOCK
  | SERIALIZABLE
  | SNAPSHOT
  | SPATIAL_WINDOW_MAX_CELLS = <integer_value>
  | TABLOCK
  | TABLOCKX
  | UPDLOCK
  | XLOCK
}

<table_hint_limited> ::=
{
    KEEPIDENTITY
  | KEEPDEFAULTS
  | HOLDLOCK
  | IGNORE_CONSTRAINTS
  | IGNORE_TRIGGERS
  | NOLOCK
  | NOWAIT
  | PAGLOCK
  | READCOMMITTED
  | READCOMMITTEDLOCK
  | READPAST
  | REPEATABLEREAD
  | ROWLOCK
  | SERIALIZABLE
  | SNAPSHOT
  | TABLOCK
  | TABLOCKX
  | UPDLOCK
  | XLOCK
}

Looks like WITH is mandatory?

@reata Just in Arguments section of docs:

The following table hints are allowed with and without the WITH keyword: NOLOCK, READUNCOMMITTED, UPDLOCK, REPEATABLEREAD, SERIALIZABLE, READCOMMITTED, TABLOCK, TABLOCKX, PAGLOCK, ROWLOCK, NOWAIT, READPAST, XLOCK, SNAPSHOT, and NOEXPAND. When these table hints are specified without the WITH keyword, the hints should be specified alone. For example:

FROM t (TABLOCK)

@EcoleKeine thanks for the info.

sqlfluff generates different AST for these two statements:

We need sqlfluff to get this fixed.
