SQL escape sequences
JDBC defines escape sequences that contain the standard syntax for the following language features:
![*](bullet.png)
Date, time, and timestamp literals
![*](bullet.png)
Scalar functions such as numeric, string, and data type conversion functions
![*](bullet.png)
Outer joins
![*](bullet.png)
Escape characters for wildcards used in LIKE clauses
![*](bullet.png)
Procedure calls
The escape sequence used by JDBC is:
