Subj:   Re: String matching and escape character
 
From:   Geoffrey Rommel

  I would like to know what the escape character is for string matching. For example, if I say:  


  SOME_STRING LIKE 'ABC%'  


  I will get any string starts with ABC. But how do I go about matching exactly 4 characters with "ABC and percentile"?  



I think what you want is "'ABC%', followed by anything". If so, you can use any character as the escape by specifying ESCAPE, like this:

SOME_STRING LIKE 'ABC\%%' ESCAPE '\'
