To exclude records, use MySQL NOT IN(). Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( Id int ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.64 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(1); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(2); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(3); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.22 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(4); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.41 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(5); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(6); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+------+ | Id | +------+ | 1 | | 2 | | 3 | | 4 | | 5 | | 6 | +------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to exclude records −
mysql> select *from DemoTable where Id NOT IN(1,4,6,3);
This will produce the following output −
+------+ | Id | +------+ | 2 | | 5 | +------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
