dynamic sql error
if u paste this in ur query window
declare @name sysname
set @Name = 'A_NEW_York'
select @name where @name like 'a\_[a-z][a-z][a-z]\_%' ESCAPE '\' --works fine
--
declare @name sysname
set @Name = 'ANEWYork'
select @name where @name like 'a\_[a-z][a-z][a-z]\_%' ESCAPE '\' --works fine
But due to some issues i m dont want to use ESCAPE in my code
declare @name sysname
set @Name = 'A_NEW_York'
select @name where @name like 'a''_''[a-z][a-z][a-z]''_''%'
its not selecting anything... I have tried different combinations using commas
but looks like some syntax error..

Try this:
declare @name sysname
set @Name = 'A_NEW_York'
select @name where @name like 'a[_][a-z][a-z][a-z][_]%'
Square-brackets around an underscore make it a literal-string, instead of a variable. Test it with this:
declare @name sysname
set @Name = 'AxNEW_York'
select @name where @name like 'a[_][a-z][a-z][a-z][_]%'
If it were still a variable, it would select the value, because it would accept the "x".
