Please check this sample code

Code:

select * from emp where ename like '%\_%' escape '\';

hope that solves your problem.

yes it is working fine...Thanks debasisdas.

you are most welcome.

In place of using \ we can use any other character as the escape .
The only restriction is that escape character can't be used in the search criteria.
