LIKE escape character sequence for wildcards
  
   You can specify the character to be used to escape wildcard characters (% and _, for example) in LIKE clauses.
  
  Syntax
  
   {escape 'escape-character'}
  
  
   where:
  
  
   escape-character
  
  
   is the character used to escape the wildcard character.
  
  Example
  
   The following SQL statement specifies that an asterisk (*) be used as the escape character in the LIKE clause for the wildcard character %:
  
  
   SELECT col1 FROM table1 WHERE col1 LIKE '*%%' {escape '*'}
