title: What is syncobj in SQL Server
body: <p>When I run this script to search particular text in <code>sys.columns</code> and I get a lot of <code>"dbo.syncobj_0x3934443438443332"</code> like rows.</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT c.name, s.name + '.' + o.name
  FROM sys.columns c
  INNER JOIN sys.objects  o ON c.object_id=o.object_id
  INNER JOIN sys.schemas  s ON o.schema_id=s.schema_id
  WHERE c.name LIKE '%text%'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I get it right, they are replication objects. Is it so? Can i just throw them away from my query just like <code>o.name NOT LIKE '%syncobj%'</code> or there's another way?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
