Dec 12, 2012 at 22:27	comment	added	Joshua Honig		Honestly I can't say I have an solid case for why this would be necessary. I found it very interesting and if I do figure it out I will put it in two handy little procs I use in my sandbox dev database: One that gets the full name of an object given the shortest recognizable fragment of the name (such as in my first example in the question), and another that kills objects by using the other function to get the full name and also uses type of the identified object to generate a `DROP` statement.
