- '*object_name*'  
- Is the name of the object for which to retrieve the specified object part. *object_name* is **sysname**. This parameter is an optionally-qualified object name.

+## Arguments

+*'object_name'*
+Is the parameter that holds the name of the object for which to retrieve the specified object part. This parameter is an optionally-qualified object name. If all parts of the object name are qualified, this name can have four parts: the server name, the database name, the schema name, and the object name.  Each part of the 'object_name' string is type *sysname* which is equivalent to nvarchar(128) or 256 bytes. If any part of the string exceeds 256 bytes, PARSENAME will return NULL for that part as it is not a valid sysname.
