Hello,

    I have a strange problem with 'like' behaviour 
    when I upgrade from 6.5 to 7.0

    Here is my table :

create table persistent_config (
    key     varchar primary key,
    type    varchar(12),
    value   varchar not null
)

    and its content :

base=# select * from persistent_config;
    key     | type |    value     
------------+------+--------------
 /test/info |      | avalue
 /try/info  |      | avalue
 /test/key  |      | changedvalue
(3 rows)

    And I try this 'like' command in psql :

base=# select * from persistent_config where key like '/test%';
    key     | type |    value     
------------+------+--------------
 /test/info |      | avalue
 /test/key  |      | changedvalue
(2 rows)

         Result is ok !

   By now, this other one :

base=# select * from persistent_config where key like '/%';
 key | type | value 
-----+------+-------
(0 rows)

     There is really something wrong !  All current content should have been
     returned. Is '/' caracter a new 'escape' caracter since version 6.5
     In fact, my query was working well on postgresql 6.5 and since I upgraded
     to 7.0, this simple command failed.
     Is it a bug, or I missed something ?

  Regards,
