title: Declare a variable as dbo.Name?
body: <p>I'm reading an excellent article by Paul White - <a href="https://www.sql.kiwi/2012/01/dynamic-seeks-and-hidden-implicit-conversions.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Dynamic Seeks and Hidden Implicit Conversions</a>! and he uses this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>DECLARE @Like dbo.Name = N'D%'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm trying to find out more about using dbo.Name to declare a variable, not having much luck with books online. Any ideas where I can find this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
