Re: LIKE quandary

I got it now. I'd have to replace all % and _ in one column and then
specify the ESCAPE on the LIKE clause.

Unfortunately, the mailing list corrupted the example you copied from the
SQL reference. Let's see if I have better luck.
SELECT *
FROM TABLEY
WHERE C1 LIKE 'AAAA+%BBB%' ESCAPE '+'

Thanks

You could specify an escape character for the wildcard characters like
this:

SELECT *
FROM TABLEY
WHERE C1 LIKE ?AAAA+%BBB%? ESCAPE ?+?
