Dears,

I have an issue i don't understand
i have this table

SQL

CREATE TABLE [Security].[ServiceOperations]
    (
      [ServiceOperation_ID] [bigint] IDENTITY(1, 1)
                                     NOT NULL ,
      [ServiceContract_ID] [bigint] NULL ,
      [OperationName] [nvarchar](MAX) NULL ,
      [Name_Ar] [nvarchar](MAX) NULL ,
      [Name_En] [nvarchar](MAX) NULL
    )

with these data

SQL

SET IDENTITY_INSERT [Security].[ServiceOperations] ON 

GO
INSERT [Security].[ServiceOperations] ([ServiceOperation_ID], [ServiceContract_ID], [OperationName], [Name_Ar], [Name_En]) VALUES (1, 1, N'DGIT.Business.Entities.DMS.StoredFile GetFile(Int64)', N'جلب الملف من خلال رقم الملف', N'Return file from file id')
GO
INSERT [Security].[ServiceOperations] ([ServiceOperation_ID], [ServiceContract_ID], [OperationName], [Name_Ar], [Name_En]) VALUES (2, 1, N'DGIT.Business.Entities.DMS.StoredFile[] GetFiles(System.Guid)', N'جلب الملف من خلال الرقم المرجعي', N'Return file from file Guid ID')
GO
INSERT [Security].[ServiceOperations] ([ServiceOperation_ID], [ServiceContract_ID], [OperationName], [Name_Ar], [Name_En]) VALUES (3, 1, N'Boolean Delete(Int64)', N'حذف ملف من خلا رقم الملف', N'Delete file by file ID')
GO
INSERT [Security].[ServiceOperations] ([ServiceOperation_ID], [ServiceContract_ID], [OperationName], [Name_Ar], [Name_En]) VALUES (4, 1, N'Int64 CreateUpdate(DGIT.Business.Entities.DMS.StoredFile)', N'انشاء او تعديل ملف ', N'Create or Update file')
GO
INSERT [Security].[ServiceOperations] ([ServiceOperation_ID], [ServiceContract_ID], [OperationName], [Name_Ar], [Name_En]) VALUES (5, 1, N'Int64 GetCount(DGIT.Business.Entities.DMS.StoredFile)', N'جلب عدد الملفات', N'Get files count')
GO
INSERT [Security].[ServiceOperations] ([ServiceOperation_ID], [ServiceContract_ID], [OperationName], [Name_Ar], [Name_En]) VALUES (6, 0, N'[][][][]', N'', N'')
GO
SET IDENTITY_INSERT [Security].[ServiceOperations] OFF

when i query for a record using like

SQL

SELECT * FROM Security.ServiceOperations AS so WHERE OperationName LIKE 'DGIT.Business.Entities.DMS.StoredFile[] GetFiles(System.Guid)'

its not returning data cause of the '[]' but its returning using '=' operator

You'll need to escape the [ and ] .

Do you also need the % wildcard character?

Solution 3

Try this:

SQL

SELECT 
    * 
FROM Security.ServiceOperations AS so 
WHERE 
     OperationName LIKE REPLACE(REPLACE('DGIT.Business.Entities.DMS.StoredFile[] GetFiles(System.Guid)', '[', '[['),']',']]')

Hi

The problem is that in the like operator the double square brackets are wildcards. See http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_wildcards.asp[^]

According to Microsoft to interpret a wildcard character as a literal you need to enclose it inside []. This would mean that in your case you should use [[]] instead of [].

Try this. It should work

Solution 2

replace [] with [[]] and it will work:

SELECT * FROM ServiceOperations AS so WHERE OperationName LIKE 'DGIT.Business.Entities.DMS.StoredFile[[]] GetFiles(System.Guid)'
