@UML(identifier="LikeOperator", specification=ISO_19143) public interface LikeOperator<R> extends ComparisonOperator<R>
A character string comparison operator with pattern matching. LikeOperator performs the equivalent of the SQL "LIKE" operator on properties of a feature. The pattern contains a combination of regular characters, the wildcard character, the single character, and the escape character. The wildcard character matches zero or more characters. The single character matches exactly one character. The escape character is used to escape the meaning of the wildcard, single character and escape character itself.
