PostgreSQL Not ConditionIn this section, we are going to understand the working of PostgreSQL NOT Condition and see the examples of NOT Condition with IN, LIKE, BETWEEN, IS NULL, and EXISTS Conditions. Introduction of PostgreSQL NOT conditionThe PostgreSQL NOT condition is used with the WHERE clause to negate a condition in a command. The NOT Condition is also knowns as NOT Operator. PostgreSQL NOT Condition SyntaxIn PostgreSQL, the NOT condition can be used with the SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE commands. In the above syntax, we have used the below parameter:
Examples of PostgreSQL NOT Condition with Different Conditions
The PostgreSQL NOT Operator with IN Condition is used to fetch those rows whose values do not match the list's values. For this, we are taking the Customer table from the Organization database. The following example displays Not Operator with IN condition to identify the customer information whose last_name is not 'Smith' or 'Brown': Output On executing the above command, we will get the below output displaying those records whose last_name is not Smith or Brown.
In PostgreSQL, we can also combine the NOT Operator with Like Condition. In the below example, we will learn the use of PostgreSQL NOT Operator with PostgreSQL LIKE condition. The following command is used to identify those customers information whose last_name does not start with string Smi: Output After implementing the above statement, we will get the following output, which displays those customers whose last_name is not like Smi.
In PostgreSQL, we can also use the NOT operator with BETWEEN Condition within the WHERE clause to fetch data from a table where the defined condition contradicts the PostgreSQL Between Condition. In the below example, we are using the Car table from the Javatpoint Database, where we are trying to get those car details whose car_price is not between the range of 100000 and 399999: Output After successfully executing the above command, we will get the following output, which displays the car information whose price is not between the range of 100000 and 399999: In the below example, we are using the greater than (>) and less than (<) operators with OR operator instead of using NOT BETWEEN/ AND operators. The below command is equivalent to the above SELECT query: Output After implementing the above command, we will get the following result:
In PostgreSQL, the IS NULL Condition can be combined with the NOT condition. We are using the Customer table from the Organization database. In the following example, we will identify those customer records whose order_id is not null. Output On executing the above command, we will get the following result, which displays those customer details whose order_id is not null.
In PostgreSQL, the EXISTS operator is used to test for the existence of any data in a subquery, and the Exists condition can also be combined with the NOT operator within the WHERE clause. Let us see one sample example to understand the working of NOT condition with Exists condition. In the following command, we will take the employee and department table from the Javatpoint database. To identify all the employee records that do not exist in the department table with the help of the emp_id column. Output After executing the above command, we will get the following output, which returns all the employee table records. There are no records in the department table for the given emp_id: OverviewIn the PostgreSQL NOT Condition section, we have learned the following topics:
