I am looking for a reference that lists all special characters in SQL Server
that must be escaped and how
Thank you
Samuel ShulmanSamuel,
have a look in BOL for 'escape characters'. You can use the keyword ESCAPE
to escape a character, and the ones this might apply to are the wildcards
used in pattern matching.

depends on the context. The doc under 'escape characters' in BOL talks about
escape characters in search conditions. Delimited identifiers are another
context in which characters such as ] (if delimiters are [ and ]) should be
escaped.
