NOT Operator

The NOT operator makes the search condition successful when the column on the left has a value that is not NULL and that does not match the pattern that the quoted string specifies.

For example, the following conditions exclude all rows that begin with the characters Baxter in the lname column:

WHERE lname NOT LIKE 'Baxter%'
WHERE lname NOT MATCHES 'Baxter*'
