I am having table where a column allows special characters like '/' forward slash and '\' back slash.
Now when I am trying to search such records from table, I am unable to get those.
example : abc\def or abc/def
I am generating search query which is like
select * from table1_1 where column10 like '%abc\def%'
It is returning 0 rows but actaully there is 1 record existing. how to write a query in this case, let me know.
Thanks.

Barmar is partially correct (so +1),
So the trick is to double escape ONLY the backslash, for string escapes only a single escape is needed.
For example
The single quote ' only needs escaping once LIKE '%\'%'
But to query backslash \ you need to double escape to LIKE '%\\\\%'
If you wanted to query backslash+singlequote \' then LIKE '%\\\\\'%' (with 5 backslashes)
Because MySQL uses C escape syntax in strings (for example, “\n” to
represent a newline character), you must double any “\” that you use
in LIKE strings. For example, to search for “\n”, specify it as “\n”.
To search for “\”, specify it as “\\”; this is because the
backslashes are stripped once by the parser and again when the pattern
match is made, leaving a single backslash to be matched against.
