Remarks
BDC uses '*' as the wildcard character and the '\' as the escape character. For example, to obtain all models which have names starting with "C", and ending with "s*12", this method should be called with "C*s\*12". This will return both "Customers*12" and "Cs*12", but not "CratesOf12" or "Cs\*12".
