Darren,
You would need to use the escape character.
Try this,
select table_name from dba_tables where table_name
like 'EDL-_WORK-_%'ESCAPE'-';
Suhen
I have a simple query, but the results are somewhat puzzling
select table_name from dba_tables where table_name like 'EDL_WORK_%'
and I received the following
TABLE_NAME
-------------------------
EDL_WORKSTATION_LOCATION
EDL_WORK_AR_ENTITIES
Why would I be receiving the first record (EDL_WORKSTATION) if I
try EDL_WORK_A% I get the correct result.
Is there something about the _% combination ?
To solve the problem I used the substr command as part of the where clause.
Darren
