ESCAPE '%'

Sorry, no.  Both the percent symbol and the underscore have special meanings in this context.  From the paragraph before the one you quoted:

> A percent symbol ("%") in the LIKE pattern matches any sequence of zero or more characters in the string. An underscore ("_") in the LIKE pattern matches any single character in the string.

They cannot be used for something else.  I hope you can use some other symbol for your escape character.
