The MySQL NOT Operator is used to display a record where the specified condition is not true.

Syntax

The syntax for using NOT operator in MySQL is given below:

SELECT column1, column2, column3, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE NOT condition;

Example:

Consider a database containing a table called Employee with the following records:

• To select all records of the Employee table where City is NOT "New Delhi", the query is given below.

  SELECT * FROM Employee
  WHERE NOT City = 'New Delhi';
