Description:
select 'a\' like 'a\'; -- error - LIKE pattern must not end with escape
character
select 'a' like 'a\'; -- f - query runs
This doesn't make sense. The LIKE pattern is incorrect in both.
I've also checked around constant folding and runtime non-literal values by
inserting into cte's and temp tables. Same outcome.
```
WITH a AS (SELECT 'xyz' AS value)
SELECT value LIKE 'xyz\' AS result
FROM a;
```
f
