  I have data values which has _ character..

  I want to do a search using 'like' keyword but since Teradata uses _ keyword ..It gives me errorneous results ..  


  ex: Select column from Table where fieldname like '%_%'  



Select column from Table where fieldname like '%\_%' escape '\'

The character is removed and the following character is the literal char '_' and not the wildcard.

Check the manual for more details.
