ODBC uses escape sequences for the LIKE clause. The syntax of this escape sequence is as follows:
{'escape-character'}
In BNF notation, the syntax is as follows:
ODBC-like-escape ::=
ODBC-esc-initiator escape 'escape-character' ODBC-esc-terminator
escape-character ::= character
ODBC-esc-initiator ::= {
ODBC-esc-terminator ::= }
To determine if the driver supports the LIKE escape sequence, an application can call SQLGetInfo with the SQL_LIKE_ESCAPE_CLAUSE information type.
