No there is no difference at all in functionality    The same is true for all other DBMS - most of them support both styles    Here is the current SQL reference  https   docs oracle com database 121 SQLRF conditions002 htm CJAGAABC  The SQL standard only defines a single operator for  not equals  and that is  lt  gt

Actually  there are four forms of this operator    lt  gt          and even      -- worked on some obscure platforms in the dark ages   which are the same  but treated differently when a verbatim match is required  stored outlines or cached queries

At university we were taught  best practice  was to use    when working for employers  though all the operators above have the same functionality
