SQL escape sequences
  
   JDBC defines escape sequences that contain the standard syntax for the following language features:
  
  
   
Date, time, and timestamp literals
  
 
  
   
Scalar functions such as numeric, string, and data type conversion functions
  
 
  
   
Outer joins
  
 
  
   
Escape characters for wildcards used in LIKE clauses
  
 
  
   
Procedure calls
  
 
  
   The escape sequence used by JDBC is:
  
  
   {extension}
  
  
   The escape sequence is recognized and parsed by the driver, which replaces the escape sequences with data store-specific grammar.
