This might be somewhat of an odd question, but I’m trying to create a filter for results, but the means of creating a query seems kind of odd to me.

Say I have 5 types of animals, by default it searches all types of animals, however then you can filter them.

So say we have Cats, Dogs, Reptiles, Birds, Fish. I want to filter out the fish and birds, how would I build a query to notice this? Do I really have to build a query for every single possible combination? That seems a little absurd.

example query for all:

SELECT * FROM animals WHERE type = "dogs" OR type = "cats" OR type = "reptiles" OR type = "fish" OR type = "birds"

    Use the NOT IN operator. For example, to filter out fish and birds:

    SELECT * FROM animals WHERE type NOT IN ('fish', 'birds')
