Question

What is the opposite of the IN() sql statement. How would i structure the following statement to pull all records except 2,5, and 6. An “!” right before IN doesn’t work.

$sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE column IN('2','5','6')"; 

Answer 1

$sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE column NOT IN('2','5','6')"; 

EDIT :

As pointed out by ‘onedaywhen’ and ‘ypercube’ in comments,

For Null Allowed columns you may need to add

OR column IS NOT NULL

or

OR column IS NULL
