    <p>I need some help with using LIKE and NOT LIKE together... I have a query that I pass WHERE clauses through based on what my request variable is from another server. One of the queries is like the following: </p> <pre><code> 'CONNECT' =&gt; "( detail_head.comment LIKE '%port%' or detail_head.comment LIKE '%forward%' or detail_head.comment LIKE '%connect%' or detail_head.comment LIKE '%router%' or detail_head.comment LIKE '%fire%wall%' or detail_head.comment LIKE '%sonic%' ) AND ( detail_head.comment NOT LIKE '%report%' OR detail_head.comment NOT LIKE '%portal%' )", </code></pre> <p>You can see that I am using LIKE and NOT LIKE. This unfortunately does not work the way I hoped it would. I am guessing it's because I am asking for PORT, but not REPORT, so it gives me the LIKE regardless. </p> <p>I was wondering what I should do in a case like this. I was thinking about making another query or array that I would use as an 'exclude list'. Where the queries would be LIKE statements, that I could use in my WHERE clause to say 'table_uid NOT IN(LIST OF COMMA SEPARATED UIDs)'.</p> <p>I have my LIKE statements that I'd like to exclude: </p> <pre><code>$exclude_where_clauses = array( 'CC' =&gt; "(detail_head.comment LIKE '%ccb%') ", 'CONNECT' =&gt; "(detail_head.comment LIKE '%report%' OR detail_head.comment LIKE '%portal%') ", 'EO' =&gt; "(detail_head.comment LIKE '%OCU%' AND detail_head.comment LIKE '%KS%' AND detail_head.comment LIKE '%screen%' AND detail_head.comment LIKE '%term%') ", 'INVENTORY' =&gt; "(detail_head.comment LIKE '%discount%') ", 'KS' =&gt; "(detail_head.comment LIKE '%panel%' or detail_head.comment LIKE '%PMIX%' or detail_head.comment LIKE '%pmix%') ", 'OCUS' =&gt; "(detail_head.comment LIKE '%document%') ", 'SALES' =&gt; "(detail_head.comment LIKE '%point%') ", 'SECURITY' =&gt; "(detail_head.comment LIKE '%km%') ", 'TERMS' =&gt; "(detail_head.comment LIKE '%forward%' or detail_head.comment LIKE '%sales%' or detail_head.comment LIKE '%intermittent%' or detail_head.comment LIKE '%print%' or detail_head.comment LIKE '%de%min%' or detail_head.comment LIKE '%reciept%' or detail_head.comment LIKE '%time%') ", ); </code></pre> <p>So, in the end, I'd like to be converting my current array of queries to say <code>"(detail_head.comment LIKE '%port%' or detail_head.comment LIKE '%forward%' or detail_head.comment LIKE '%connect%' or detail_head.comment LIKE '%router%' or detail_head.comment LIKE '%fire%wall%' or detail_head.comment LIKE '%sonic%') AND table_uid NOT IN(LIST OF COMMA SEPARATED UIDs) "</code></p>

    1. COPlease post an example comment, too, so we can see "report" and "port" in context.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
