SELECT   FROM table WHERE field1 NOT LIKE    x       Make sure you escape  x properly beforehand to avoid SQL injection   Edit  NOT IN does something a bit different - your question isn t totally clear so pick which one to use    LIKE  xxx   can use an index   LIKE   xxx  or LIKE   xxx   can t

What kind of field is this  The IN operator cannot be used with a single field  but is meant to be used in subqueries or with predefined lists   -- subquery SELECT a FROM x WHERE x b NOT IN  SELECT b FROM y   -- predefined list SELECT a FROM x WHERE x b NOT IN  1  2  3  6     If you are searching a string  go for the LIKE operator  but this will be slow    -- Finds all rows where a does not contain  text  SELECT   FROM x WHERE x a NOT LIKE   text      If you restrict it so that the string you are searching for has to start with the given string  it can use indices  if there is an index on that field  and be reasonably fast   -- Finds all rows where a does not start with  text  SELECT   FROM x WHERE x a NOT LIKE  text
