ALL uses of <> in SSMS schemata - Found one that I can't identify from any search


Preface: Sort of green to this, apologies if it is beyond obvious.

I've gone down a number of rabbit holes regarding variants in schemata, != functionality, schema objects, and can't seem to get a handle on what this syntax definitively stands for or accomplishes.

    You can press Ctrl + Shift + M to bring up a dialogue box to fill them in.

    Or if that doesn't do anything see this article for how to fix.
