Hi I am facing a problem with the like command in SQL,
I want to search for special characters within a column .
The special characters are a single quotation mark ' and { and }..
I have tried placing these special characters under [] but still it doesn’t work for '
I have also used the except option but that was also of no help..
Waiting for a response soon
SQL Server escaping is a pain because there are various ways to escape characters, each with different meaning and use case.
A single quote is escaped with another single quote:
WHERE myfield LIKE '%''%'.
