[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-2674) Query using Escape syntax in LIKE expression with PostgresSQL 8.2 results in PSQLException: The column index is out of range

[Shelly McGowan (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2674?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=31158#action_31158 ] 

Shelly McGowan commented on HHH-2674:
-------------------------------------

This issue can be resolved with a PostgreSQL setting standard_conforming_strings to true:

standard_conforming_strings (boolean)

    This controls whether ordinary string literals ('...') treat backslashes literally, as specified in the SQL standard. The default is currently off, causing PostgreSQL to have its historical behavior of treating backslashes as escape characters. The default will change to on in a future release to improve compatibility with the standard. Applications can check this parameter to determine how string literals will be processed. The presence of this parameter can also be taken as an indication that the escape string syntax (E'...') is supported. Escape string syntax should be used if an application desires backslashes to be treated as escape characters.

per database parameter (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/sql-alterdatabase.html) or per user (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/sql-alteruser.html 

postgres=# ALTER USER username SET standard_conforming_strings = true;

postgres=> show standard_conforming_strings;
