I know. :-) I didn't know, though, if you wanted to match a NUL byte,
the literal string "\017", ASCII 17, or what.

Can't you just put it in the string like any character? Or does it cause
a problem?
I guess you could use the CHAR() function otherwise?
... WHERE column LIKE CONCAT('%stuff', CHAR(17), 'stuff%');
I think!
