Hello all,

I am trying to escape special characters in a TSQL query. I have done this before:

SELECT columns FROM table WHERE column LIKE '%\%%' ESCAPE '\'

And it has worked. Now I have tried to do this now:

UPDATE match SET rule_name='31' ESCAPE '\'

But it has failed. I know none of the vlaues have a \ but it should still work. I am guessing its because it needs a LIKE statement but how else can I escape characters that I am adding to a database?

In addition, does anyone have a link to all the special characters that should be escaped, I couldn't find any documentation on this!

Thanks all for any help
