Re: use of _ in sql on i5

Yes it is. You need to escape it if you want to use it. I would try to
avoid that character as well as '%'. Here's an example of how to
escape in interactive SQL:

UPDATE IMAGES SET IMAGES.SEQUENCE = 3
WHERE (((IMAGES.FILENAME) LIKE '%FIN_*_%' escape '*') AND
((IMAGES.MFPARTNUMBER) LIKE 'COLL-%'));

Here I'm using '*' as the escape character because I have to search
for an underscore.

I changed all my "@" to "_" in a source file.

How d'you select character strings containing "_" ?

Is "_" some kind of wild card?


Thanks
