Portable escape sequence in like style strings ---------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-998 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-998 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Affects Versions: 3.1 beta 2 Reporter: Emmanuel Bernard Priority: Minor It seems that DB has different escape sequence for the % character in like strings from User u where u.name like 'Luc%' We should add an abstraction to the Dialect and define some unified escape sequence like \ from User u where u.name like 'Luc\%'
