Обсуждение: Simple like filter
Hi, My data are look like: 1_123456 11_123456 111_123456 1111_123456 11111_123456 (varchar(20)) I would like a where like SQL command. I tried this: like E'11\_%' -> wrong! like E'11\_______' -> good (with 7 piece of _ characters!) What would I have to do if the second part of the numbers (after the _ character) will be different lenght? TIA, Ruzsi

You either want E'11\\_%' or you want '11\_%' with standard_conforming_strings enabled. If you use E'11\_%' the backslash is getting eaten before the like comparison even starts and the string you're comparing with is just 11_% with _ used as a meta character. You can also do s LIKE '%Q_%' ESCAPE 'Q' -- greg http://mit.edu/~gsstark/resume.pdf
