# [[SQL Not]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
The NOT operator reverses a WHERE condition's truth value, and combines with LIKE, BETWEEN, IN, IS NULL, and comparison operators to express exclusion. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **NOT operator** — returns records that do NOT match the specified criteria, reversing a condition from true to false and vice versa. [S1]
- **Syntax** — `SELECT ... FROM table_name WHERE NOT condition;`. [S1]
- **Common NOT combinations** — `NOT LIKE`, `NOT BETWEEN`, `NOT IN`, `IS NOT NULL`, `NOT EXISTS`. [S1]
- **NOT with comparisons** — "not greater than" and "not less than" are expressed as `WHERE NOT column > value` / `WHERE NOT column < value`, rather than dedicated operators. [S1]

## 🧩 추출된 패턴 (Extracted patterns)
- **Negate-by-wrapping** — rather than a distinct exclusion operator per case, SQL wraps `NOT` around an existing predicate (`=`, `LIKE`, `BETWEEN`, `IN`, comparison), giving a single uniform negation mechanism. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- Basic negated equality: `SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE NOT Country = 'Spain';`. [S1]
- NOT LIKE: `WHERE CustomerName NOT LIKE 'A%';` excludes names starting with "A". [S1]
- NOT BETWEEN: `WHERE CustomerID NOT BETWEEN 10 AND 60;` selects rows outside the inclusive range. [S1]
- NOT IN: `WHERE City NOT IN ('Paris', 'London');` excludes rows matching any listed value. [S1]
- NOT with comparison: `WHERE NOT CustomerID > 50;` (not greater than) and `WHERE NOT CustomerId < 50;` (not less than). [S1]

## ⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)
소스에서 모순되는 정보는 발견되지 않음.

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — NOT은 LIKE/BETWEEN/IN 챕터 각각에서 반대 조건을 표현하는 공통 도구로 재사용된다. [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Basic NOT (SQL):
```sql
SELECT * FROM Customers
WHERE NOT Country = 'Spain';
```
NOT combined with IN (SQL):
```sql
SELECT * FROM Customers
WHERE City NOT IN ('Paris', 'London');
```
