Previously, escape_wildcards only escaped special characters (%, _, \) for MySQL and PostgreSQL, leaving SQLite and other databases vulnerable to unintended wildcard matches in LIKE queries. This commit replaces the database-specific escaping logic with Rails' sanitize_sql_like method, which works consistently across all database adapters. Changes: - Replaced database-specific regex with sanitize_sql_like - Updated test expectations for SQLite to match correctly escaped output - Simplified code from 13 lines to 1 line Fixes activerecord-hackery#1581

sanitize_sql_likemethod which works for all databases.Changes
