The table has a field which contains double pipes "||"

I’m not sure how to get the query to recognise the pipes. I guess they are not being interpreted as string literals.

WHERE field LIKE '||%value%||'

    The pipe character has no special meaning, neither in a string literal, nor in a like pattern.

    Are you really looking for a value that starts and ends with two pipe characters, and contains value somehere between them? For examle ||asdfvalueqerty||.

    If you are looking for a value that contains ||value||, you would use the pattern '%||value||%' instead.
