I have the following mysql code
SELECT * FROM loans_book WHERE the_amount < 500000
AND
loan_amount_you_require
NOT LIKE '%avensis%'
OR
loan_amount_you_require
NOT LIKE '%prius%'
OR
loan_amount_you_require
NOT LIKE '%porsch%'
OR
the problem is,if i keep adding the not likes,they are bound to add up to 100 and i suspect the list could grow longer.
I like the way mysql has NOT IN where i can comma separate my strings but not like is different in that i need to specify the column name each time.
is there a way i could possibly go around the requirement to state the column name each time i want to use not like?.
You can try using NOT REGEXP for this... Query should look like the following:
SELECT
*
FROM
loans_book
WHERE
the_amount < 500000
AND loan_amount_you_require NOT REGEXP 'avensis|prius|porsch';
