Hey David,
I guess, that you should escape, like this
dmitigr=> SELECT regexp_replace('di_ma%', '(%|_)', E'\\\\\\1', 'g');
regexp_replace
----------------
di\_ma\%

<david@we7.com> If I have a string, and I want to search for everything that starts with that string then I could do:
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name LIKE string || '%';
Now, if string contains \, _ or % then it won't do what I expect.
Is there a built-in function that I can call to escape the string so that it isn't special for LIKE, or is it a case of regexing and putting a \ before each \, _ or %?
David
