SQL Query Where Field DOES NOT Contain $x

In SQL, if we want to print those rows that do not contain $x as their values, we have to use the NOT LIKE Operator. Let’s have a look at the syntax of the NOT LIKE operator.

Syntax:

SELECT *
FROM your_table
WHERE column_name NOT LIKE '%$x%';

Example of NOT LIKE Operator:

Suppose we have a table Customer, and we have to print the fields that do not contain $x.

CustomerID CustomerName Email
1John Doe[email protected]
2Jane Smith[email protected]
3Sam Green[email protected]
4Alice Brown[email protected]
5Tom Richards[email protected]
6Sarah Leesara$xlee$domain.com

Now let’s print only those rows, that do not contain $x in their email.

Query:

SELECT CustomerID, CustomerName, Email
FROM Customers
WHERE Email NOT LIKE '%$x%';

Output:

CustomerID CustomerName Email
1John Doe[email protected]
2Jane Smith[email protected]
3Sam Green[email protected]
4Alice Brown[email protected]

Explanation: the above query will filter the last two rows that contain $x as their string, and return the rest rows.
