| 1261 | r"""Implement the 'endswith' operator. |
| 1262 | |
| 1263 | Produces a LIKE expression that tests against a match for the end |
| 1264 | of a string value: |
| 1265 | |
| 1266 | .. sourcecode:: sql |
| 1267 | |
| 1268 | column LIKE '%' || <other> |
| 1269 | |
| 1270 | E.g.:: |
| 1271 | |
| 1272 | stmt = select(sometable).where(sometable.c.column.endswith("foobar")) |
| 1273 | |
| 1274 | Since the operator uses ``LIKE``, wildcard characters |
| 1275 | ``"%"`` and ``"_"`` that are present inside the <other> expression |
| 1276 | will behave like wildcards as well. For literal string |
| 1277 | values, the :paramref:`.ColumnOperators.endswith.autoescape` flag |
| 1278 | may be set to ``True`` to apply escaping to occurrences of these |
| 1279 | characters within the string value so that they match as themselves |
| 1280 | and not as wildcard characters. Alternatively, the |
| 1281 | :paramref:`.ColumnOperators.endswith.escape` parameter will establish |
| 1282 | a given character as an escape character which can be of use when |
| 1283 | the target expression is not a literal string. |
| 1284 | |
| 1285 | :param other: expression to be compared. This is usually a plain |
| 1286 | string value, but can also be an arbitrary SQL expression. LIKE |
| 1287 | wildcard characters ``%`` and ``_`` are not escaped by default unless |
| 1288 | the :paramref:`.ColumnOperators.endswith.autoescape` flag is |
| 1289 | set to True. |
| 1290 | |
| 1291 | :param autoescape: boolean; when True, establishes an escape character |
| 1292 | within the LIKE expression, then applies it to all occurrences of |
| 1293 | ``"%"``, ``"_"`` and the escape character itself within the |
| 1294 | comparison value, which is assumed to be a literal string and not a |
| 1295 | SQL expression. |
| 1296 | |
| 1297 | An expression such as:: |
| 1298 | |
| 1299 | somecolumn.endswith("foo%bar", autoescape=True) |
| 1300 | |
| 1301 | Will render as: |
| 1302 | |
| 1303 | .. sourcecode:: sql |
| 1304 | |
| 1305 | somecolumn LIKE '%' || :param ESCAPE '/' |
| 1306 | |
| 1307 | With the value of ``:param`` as ``"foo/%bar"``. |
| 1308 | |
| 1309 | :param escape: a character which when given will render with the |
| 1310 | ``ESCAPE`` keyword to establish that character as the escape |
| 1311 | character. This character can then be placed preceding occurrences |
| 1312 | of ``%`` and ``_`` to allow them to act as themselves and not |
