Escape character for Underscore

Hi,
I have table names ending with '_A' text. I want to write a query to fetch only these tables and I am using
the below query,
select * from user_tables
where table_name like '%_A'
Here, '_' is also treated as a special character and fetches unmatching data. How do I use escape sequence
here to fetch tablenames ending with 'underscore and character A' ("_A")
Thank you.

Try this:
SELECT * FROM user_tables WHERE table_name LIKE '%\_A' ESCAPE '\';Here is a link to the documentation: LIKE Condition.
Hope this helps!

Escape character for apostrophe ' in JDBC receiver channel

Hi all,
We have Proxy to JDBC scenario in our project. This interface is working fine with unicode data but when there is an apostrophe( ' ) coming in any of the field values ( ex: DOWTHERM 'J' MODEL19QAGB1G ) , the message is failing in receiver JDBC channel.
can anyone please tell us how to handle single quote in JDBC receiver channel.
I have read in SAP help documentation that apostrophe is a reserved character in SQL syntax and is therefore replaced by an escape character if it occurs within value strings. There is a option to JDBC receiver communication channel under "SQL SYNTAX PARAMETER" to specify the escape character for apostrophe.
Can any please tell us which value needs to be maintained in the channel to avoid this error.
Regards
Jagruthi

Hi Prateek,
Thanks a lot for you inputs.
This issue is solved now. We have replaced single quote with two single quotes and then did the hasQuote mapping as described in the blog.
/people/prateek.srivastava3/blog/2009/04/02/unicode-handling-for-ms-sql-server
No value needs to be maintained in channel(SQL SYNTAX PARAMETER ).
But just want to understand the difference between replacing the ' with '' in mapping and using SQL SYNTAX PARAMETER option in communication channel.
Both should ideally result in same output. But it didnu2019t work when we tried with two single quotes in SQL SYNTAX PARAMETER (Escape Symbol for Apostrophe) in communication channel without doing anything in mapping.

Using Escape character for Multi character delimiter for flat files in IKM

Hi
I have an IKM using Jython, it is working fine for single character delimiter. But as per requirement I have to use multicharacter delimiter ;" (semi colon and double quotes).
I am taking this into variable using
filesep = "<%=snpRef.getSrcTablesList("", "[SFILE_SEP_FIELD]", "", "")%>"
but it is giving lexical error.
Can anybody help me with the use of escape character in current scenario?
Any other suggestions are also appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
A small tweak may solve your problem:
Instead of :
CONCATENATE wa_condstr ' bukrs = ' pa_bukrs INTO wa_condstr SEPARATED BY space.
Use:
CONCATENATE wa_condstr ' bukrs = ' 'PA_BUKRS' INTO wa_condstr SEPARATED BY space.
Then use this in SELECT.
Anyways for your answer the escape character for apostrophe is an apostrophe )
Try this you will understand:
DATA:
V_STR TYPE STRING VALUE ''''.
WRITE: V_STR.

Hi ,
as per my knowledge.....................
When you create a WSDL with the help of a wizard. In the Integration Directory, choose Tools -> Define Web Service to enter the wizard.
On Propose URL button, as this genertated URL default Point to Entegration Engine.. SO already proformance wise Good.
If You want to Point your URL to adapter engine , use below given URL this will point ur incoming soap message to SOAPadapter sender channel

What is the escape character for DOT in java regex?

How to specify a dot character in a java regex?
. itself represents any character
\. is an illegal escape character

The regex engine needs to see \. but if you're putting it into a String literal in a .java file, you need to make it \\., as Rene said. This is because the compiler also uses \ as an escape character, so it will take the first \ as escaping the second one, and remove it, and the string that gets passed onto the regex will be \.

Sure, sending a BEL character to the console rings the bell, but that has nothing to do with Java. Anyway, I think he meant Java doesn't support the \a escape sequence in string and char literals.

Character " within record AND as escape sign for FF master data

I have a flat file for attributes for master data. A field for address contains the character ( " ) This is also the escape character for the CSV file. In BI 7, when loading into the PSA, the load aborts because it is trying to split the file in the middle of the record. The 3.5 version of BW loads this file without problem. I have the character included as an allowed special character. What can I do to make BI 7 load the record? Am I missing a setting?

Hi
you can change the operator to some other sign , available at extraction tab of infopackage. make data format to " Seperated with seperator ( for example CSV )" and then change data seperator to some other isgn. I genrally use , .
Make sure while saving the file you save it as csv , comma delimited.
thanks,
Monika

What is escape sequence for * in SQL

I am using oracle 9. When I run a select query with a where clause as
AND UPPER (bnm.name_value_tx) LIKE '*/*%' ESCAPE '\'
I got an exception as
ORA-29902: error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine ORA-20000: Oracle Text error: DRG-51030: wildcard query expansion resulted in too many terms ]; nested exception is java.sql.SQLException: ORA-29902: error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine ORA-20000: Oracle Text error: DRG-51030: wildcard query expansion resulted in too many terms
Is there any escape sequence to handle the character * in query? or any other solution to this problem?

If what I understand in my limited knowledge is correct, then u want to search the character * or ** with any character after that as u have used %. But 1st of all, u dont need an escape character for * . Thats only required for _ and % if u use any of it as a search character. So go straight:
AND UPPER (bnm.name_value_tx) LIKE '**%' ....
(if u want to search for ** at the beginning of the field with any characters afterwards.)
Use Escape Characters like:
select first_name,job_id from employees where job_id like 'SA\_%' escape '\'

How to specify SQL escape character

The percent (%) and underscore (_) character have special meaning in SQL,
and I want to escape these so users cannot type them in and effect the
queries. The database is DB2, which does not have a default escape
character, but one can be specified in an "escape" clause, like this:
select * from customer where name like 'ERIC\%' escape '\'
This query will look for a row where the name is literally equal to
'ERIC%'. This brings me to my question:
How do I specify to Kodo that it adds the "escape" clause to the end of
the SQL?
Thanks,
Eric

How do I specify to Kodo that it adds the "escape" clause to the end of
the SQL?Unfortunately there is no easy way to do this. The only way I can think of off
the top of my head is to create a subclass of the appropriate DBDictionary for
your database (see src/kodo/jdbc/sql/) and override the DBDictinoary's
toSelect(SQLBuffer, SQLBuffer...) method to add the escape clause. You can then
plug your custom dictionary into kodo:
kodo.jdbc.DBDictionary: your.custom.class.Name

Query of Queries (QofQ) Escaped Character Problem

Hello All,
I'm trying to run a query or queires (QofQ) and I'm doing a
LIKE comparison that looks for bracket characters ([ ]) within a
string, however ColdFusion is ignoring the brackets. How can I
escape the bracket character? So far I have only been able to
escape the percent sign based on the ColdFusion Live Docs. The
error message I get when I run the query below is:
Invalid Escape Sequence. Valid sequence pairs for this escape
character are: "\%", or "\_".
Here is the query:
<cfquery dbtype="query" name="getLogs">
SELECT *
FROM GetLogs
WHERE Description LIKE '%\[User:#UserID#\]%' ESCAPE '\'
</cfquery>
Thanks for your help!

You are correct. If you leave the brackets in the LIKE
statement, it will return results as if the brackets weren't there
at all.
Perhaps I need to figure out the ASCII character value of the
bracket and include it that way i.e. #Char(?)# where the question
mark would be the numerical value of that character.
My temporary solution has been to leave off the starting
bracket:
<cfquery dbtype="query" name="getLogs">
SELECT *
FROM GetLogs
WHERE Description LIKE '%user:#UserID#]%'
</cfquery>
This has (so far) returned the results i'm looking for
although its not as 100% accurate without that beginning [ in the
LIKE statement.

Can Linux recognize the escape character?

Hi,
It's possible that this problem doesn't belong here. But please give it a try.
I am developing an project using JSP. It includes image uploading. after image uploading, I use a javascript function popUp(url, ...) to open a new window and display this image. The very strange thing is that, sometimes the link can work, open a new window and display the image while sometimes the link can't work, or it only works for one time, then it fails. I couldn't find the reason yet. it works on IE, and not on Netscape and also not work on Linux OS while do work on Window2000. Can somebody take a look at the following link and tell me how to change it to make sure it is work on Linux OS and netscape. What's the difference between OS and windows to specify a String(that is, url of a link). The linux OS seems interperte \" to ", so it cannot recognize the full url.
The link is :
imageLink[i] = "<a href='showForm' onclick=\"popUp('" + request.getContextPath() + "/displayForm.jsp?filename=" + sdb.getImageFileName(i)+"&fileDesc=" +sdb.getImageDesc(i) + "', 'showForm', '600', '450', 'yes'); return false;\">"+sdb.getImageDesc(i)+"</a>";
Thanks in advance!
jmling

Linux will recognize the escape character. It looks like you might have other difficulties with your imageLink tag. For example, I think you need to use tags when you use Java inside your html or javascript..
onclick=\"popUp(" + <%= request.getContextPath() %> + "/displayform.jsp?...

How to use escape character in update statement.

Hi All,
I'm trying to update table using following sql update statement, but everytime it's asking me for the input due to the '&' value in below sql.
UPDATE xyz_xyz
   SET NAME = 'ABC & PQR'
WHERE ID = (SELECT ID
               FROM abc_abc
              WHERE NAME = 'C & PQR');Please let me know how to use escape character syntax or let me know if there is any alternative solution.
Thanks,
Vishwas

Hi,
By default, & marks a substitution variable name.
If you're not using substitution variables in that statement (or, if this is in PL/SQL, in that entire package or procedure) then the easiest thing to do is just diable substitution variables; then & will be a normal character:
SELECT DEFINE OFF
UPDATE xyz_xyz
   SET NAME = 'ABC & PQR'
WHERE ID = (SELECT ID
               FROM abc_abc
              WHERE NAME = 'C & PQR');
SET DEFINE ONIf you can't do that, then & is always taken literally if it comes right before a single-quote, so you could say:
UPDATE xyz_xyz
   SET NAME = 'ABC &' || ' PQR'
WHERE ID = (SELECT ID
               FROM abc_abc
              WHERE NAME = 'C &' || ' PQR');There is a SQL*Plus "SET ESCAPE" command, too, but if you use it, you have to worry about whether the escape character is to be taken literally or not.
SET   ESCAPE \Yet another alternative is to make some other character, such as ~, mark the substitution variables:
SET DEFINE ~Read all about them in the SQL*Plus manual.

ANSI escape sequence for "Command" key?

I know there are escape sequences for ctrl (^), alt (~), shift ($), etc that can be used from the command-line, but I'm wondering if there's an equivalent way to invoke the command key (or the apple key or whatever you wish to call it) from a terminal?
I'd appreciate any advice, thanks!

Hi Evan,
   This is more than a failure of terminology. The use of certain key sequences cause the terminal to produce certain characters that are just like letters except that many processes take special action when these characters are encountered. These characters are called "control characters."
   For instance, type <Control>-v to "tell the shell" to not take special action on the next character produced. Then, if you type <Control>-c, the terminal will produce an End-of-Text character, ANSII character 3, and the shell will accept it as a literal character. However, it has no symbol for that character so it displays a pair of characters, "^C", in its place. Internally though, there is no carat and no 'C'; there is only the number three, which is the ANSII code for the End-of-Text character.
   The bash shell will substitute control characters for certain escape sequences in expanding words of the form $'string'. For instance, consider the following command:
echo $'\003' | cat -v
^C
Above, the first line is a command that you can cut-and-paste into your terminal. The second line is the output you would see if you execute the command. Bash replaces the $'\003' word with the literal control character and then "cat" converts that character to the pair of characters, "^C", to show you what had been there.
   Of course there are still terminology problems; you are not using the word "emulate" correctly. However, if there was such a meaning, I think that one would say that the character sequences "emulate" the control character, not the other way around.
   On the other hand, when you modify a key with the "Command" key, Macintosh programs treat that as an attempt to invoke a function of that program. No character is produced. In fact technically, the program never even sees the keystrokes. The system intercepts the key event and converts it to an AppleEvent.
   One tool on Macs specializes in producing AppleEvents and that is AppleScript. Fortunately, Apple wrote a utility to grant the shell access to AppleScript and that is the "osascript" command. That allows you to sort of imbed AppleScript in a shell script and that would allow you to send any program any event that the system would generate in response to a command key sequence.
