I would like to thank all who have commented. I have learned a little more to apply to any additional QOD that I may submit. Please note that I relied on theMerriam-Webster Dictionary definition for the words equivalent, and same which are:
Equivalent:
equal in force, amount, or value
Same:
equal in size, shape, value, or importance —usually used with the or a demonstrative (as that, those) in all senses
The main objective as I understand the QOD is to introduce readers to new and/or little known aspects of SQL Server it is my hope that this is what this question did.
As a non-native english speaker I'm unaware of such small differences between the meaning of words.
For me: Same == Equivalent :ermm:
But you are right about touching new aspects of SQL Server...
