The implied difference is if someone or even you know how the algorithm works, which for "new" is relatively straightforward.

Yeah

SELECT TOP(100) * FROM POSTS ORDER BY DATEPOSTED

Is a relatively straight forward command to a database and hell, I'm guessing extremely readable by your average Joe.

If you’re talking SQL, it would be SELECT * FROM posts ORDER BY dateposted LIMIT 100.

There are a lot of flavors of SQL each with their own syntax. I've been using Microsoft's SQL now for 3 years and the syntax I used is correct for that.
