Odd. I'm seeing something other than what I first expected. Watch
this...
---snip---
mysql> CREATE TABLE slash_test ( foo VARCHAR(30) );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)
mysql> INSERT INTO slash_test VALUES ('blah\\blah');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> SELECT * FROM slash_test;
+-----------+
| foo |
+-----------+
| blah\blah |
+-----------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
mysql> SELECT * FROM slash_test where foo like "blah\\%";
Empty set (0.00 sec)
mysql> SELECT * FROM slash_test where foo like "blah\\\%";
+-----------+
| foo |
+-----------+
| blah\blah |
+-----------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
