List all tables with a certain string

    Your problem here is that the underscore character is itself a wildcard in T-SQL, matching any single character. That explains the results you are seeing.

    The solution is to ESCAPE the wildcard. Something (rather inelegant) like this (untested):

    Select name 
    from sys.tables 
    where name like '%|_ar|_%' ESCAPE '|';
