Should UCS_BASIC character types have to look at collation elements when 
dealing with escape character in the LIKE clause?

                 Key: DERBY-3315
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3315
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: JDBC
    Affects Versions: 10.3.2.1, 10.3.1.4, 10.4.0.0
            Reporter: Mamta A. Satoor


Code in SQLChar.like(dvd, dvd) method at line number 1767 is executed for 
non-national/non-collation sensitive character types ie for UCS_BASIC character 
types and the code looks as follows
  // Make sure we fail for both varchar an nvarchar
  // for multiple collation characters.
  SQLChar escapeSQLChar = (SQLChar) escape;
  int[] escapeIntArray = escapeSQLChar.getIntArray();
  if (escapeIntArray != null && (escapeIntArray.length != 1))
  {
  throw 
StandardException.newException(SQLState.LANG_INVALID_ESCAPE_CHARACTER,new 
String (escapeSQLChar.getCharArray()));
   }

It appears that we are trying to see if number of collation elements associated 
with escape character is more than 1 and if yes, then we throw exception. Seems 
like a code like above should be done for collation sensitive character types 
and not for UCS_BASIC character types. Interestingly, nothing like this is 
getting checked for national character datatypes. 

This behavior was detected while working on DERBY-3302
