### How to use NOT in queries
|
|
Why does
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER
|
|
WHERE COUNTRY NOT LIKE 'USA';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
work and
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER
|
|
WHERE COUNTRY NOT 'USA';
|
|
```
|
|
does not work?
|
|
|
|
### Answer
|
|
To avoid using `LIKE` <br/>
|
|
|
|
`WHERE NOT customer.country = "USA";` <br/>
|
|
or <br/>
|
|
`WHERE NOT != "USA";` <br/>
|
|
|
|
are valid ways of forming the query.
