Sample Solution:

-- Selecting all columns from the ProductPhoto table
SELECT *   
-- From the ProductPhoto table
FROM 
    Production.ProductPhoto  
-- Filtering records where LargePhotoFileName contains the pattern '%greena_%' using the ESCAPE clause to escape the character 'a'
WHERE 
    LargePhotoFileName LIKE '%greena_%' ESCAPE 'a' ;

Explanation:

• This SQL code retrieves all columns from the ProductPhoto table.
• The SELECT statement specifies that all columns should be included in the result set.
• The FROM clause indicates the table from which data is being retrieved, which is the ProductPhoto table.
• The WHERE clause filters records to include only those where the LargePhotoFileName column contains the pattern '%greena_%'. The ESCAPE 'a' clause specifies that the character 'a' is used as the escape character to treat the underscore ('_') as a literal character rather than a wildcard.
• The result set will contain all columns from the ProductPhoto table for records where the LargePhotoFileName matches the specified pattern.

Sample Output:
