I am using the setDefinitionExpression on some of my FeatureLayers. This works fine in most cases but I believe there might be a bug in the API when it comes to the LIKE operator and the % wildcard.
When using expressions such as;
myField LIKE '%Ca%'
I get no results even though "myField" has several records including the word "Catchment"
however I always get correct results when just using a single character between the % wildcards, such as
myField LIKE '%C%'
or
myField LIKE '%a%'
interestingly, it does sometimes work as expected with multiple characters (depends on the character combination), e.g.
myField LIKE '%tr%'
works fine and returns the correct features
I suspect this may be a bug in the API since the getDefinitionExpression always returns the expression exactly as I stated it.
In essence, it appears to be a parsing issue with %xx in the definition expressions.
I'm on version 3.10 now and I am pretty sure this was not an issue in 3.8.
Anyone else had this issue?
Thanks
