The current implementation ignores a trailing backslash if it is the last character in the sqlLikePattern. Previously, a trailing backslash was treated as a literal character and escaped in the resulting regex. To maintain backward compatibility and handle this edge case, the code should check if the escaped flag is still true after the loop and append the escaped backslash to the regex.

    if (escaped) {
      regex.append('\\').append('\\');
    }
    regex.append('$');

return Pattern.compile(regex.toString(), Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
}

private static boolean isRegexMetacharacter(char c) {
return "\\.[]{}()*+?^$|".indexOf(c) != -1;
}

boolean needsListing(String pattern) {
return pattern == null || pattern.contains("%") || pattern.contains("_");
}

Consider adding test cases for an escaped escape character (e.g., \\) and a trailing escape character to ensure they are handled correctly and to prevent future regressions. Before adding these, please verify the existing test suite to ensure these scenarios are not already covered.

    assertTrue(escapedPercent.matcher("100%discount").matches());
    assertFalse(escapedPercent.matcher("100PERCENTdiscount").matches());

    // Escaped escape character
    Pattern escapedBackslash = dbMetadata.compileSqlLikePattern("test\\\\table");
    assertTrue(escapedBackslash.matcher("test\\table").matches());

    // Trailing escape character
    Pattern trailingBackslash = dbMetadata.compileSqlLikePattern("test\\");
    assertTrue(trailingBackslash.matcher("test\\").matches());

  1. Before adding new test cases for input validation, verify the existing test suite to ensure these scenarios are not already covered.
