[jira] Commented: (DERBY-20) LIKE handles strings with control characters incorrectly.

["David Van Couvering (JIRA)" <de...@db.apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-20?page=comments#action_12316409 ] 

David Van Couvering commented on DERBY-20:
------------------------------------------

Paul Riethmuller writes:

That is not a Derby bug - it's being strict about the SQL standard.

Your LIKE string contains no wildcard characters, so you should write either:

   le.name = 'Ber%'
or
   le.name LIKE 'Ber\%%' ESCAPE '\'

depending on your intention.

HTH

Paul

but then Mitesh Meshwani responds:

FWIW,  We get the same result using db2jcc.jar as driver against derby
That is when using the original query (with Ber\%% for the Like clause ), we do not get the expected rows.
When using the modified query (Ber\% for the Like clause ), we get an exception with SQLSTATE=22025 ("The LIKE predicate string pattern contains an invalid occurrence of an escape character.")

Thanks,
Mitesh
