Wrong results with query using LIKE and ESCAPE clause that includes "%", "\", 
and "_"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: DERBY-1386
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1386
     Project: Derby
        Type: Bug

    Versions: 10.2.0.0, 10.1.2.5    
    Reporter: A B


After the fix for DERBY-1262 was checked in, I'm noticing that the following 
query now returns different results.  Prior to the fix for DERBY-1262 the query 
returned 2 rows; now it doesn't return any rows.

create table escTable (c1 char(10));
insert into escTable values ('%_\a');
insert into escTable values ('%_b');
insert into escTable values ('%c');
insert into escTable values ('d');
insert into escTable values ('%_\e');
select c1 from escTable where c1 like '\%\_\\%' ESCAPE '\';

Before DERBY-1262, the SELECT returned:

C1
----------
%_\a
%_\e

2 rows selected

Now it returns:

C1
----------

0 rows selected

Brief inspection of the query and data suggest to me that these new results 
(i.e. no rows) are wrong, and that Derby should in fact return 2 rows/.

Based on comments in DERBY-1262, I'm creating a new Jira issue for the 
regression since it has been checked into the 10.1 maintenance branch.  I've 
set the priority to "Critical" since this could potentially delay a 10.1.3 
release--I.e. I don't think we'd want to release 10.1.3 knowing that we have a 
wrong results regression.  But if anyone thinks that's not the correct 
priority, feel free to speak up.

Other option, of course, is to back out the change for DERBY-1262 in 10.1 and 
then lower the priority accordingly.  

Input/feedback/comments would be appreciated.
