I'm trying to do this:
select * from table where field::text ilike '%\_%';
but it doesn't work.
How do you escape the _ and $ chars?
The docs say to use \, but that isn't working.
( http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/functions-matching.html )
The text between '%...%' can be longer, I'm just trying to figure out
how to escape some things. I've found that ' works with '' and \
works with \\
To get around the somewhat quirky usage of backslashes, you can simply define a
different esacpe character:
select *
from table
where field::text ilike '%...@_%' escape '@';
