Question

i am trying to query from database asking for data with this filter. i want that the word which is after not like not to exist in my result query. but my result is still having the that word.

select * from table where titel not like '%word-word%'

but i am still getting the query where the title has the word 'word-word'.

do i have to escape the query for '-'

is there any difference between like and not like in this sense ?

Answer 1

nothing wrong with your query. check whether your table contains ‘word-word’.

try this

select * from table where title not like '%word-word%'
