The syntax of the Oracle IN operator that determines whether an expression matches a list of values is as follows: expression [NOT] IN (v1,v2,...) Code language: SQL (Structured Query Language) ( sql )
In Oracle/PLSQL, you can use the <> or != operators to test for inequality in a query. For example, we could test for inequality using the <> operator, as follows: SELECT * FROM customers WHERE last_name <> 'Anderson'; In this example, the SELECT statement would return all rows from the customers table where the last_name is not equal to Anderson.
IN () can be used to compare row constructors: mysql> SELECT (3,4) IN ( (1,2), (3,4)); -> 1 mysql> SELECT (3,4) IN ( (1,2), (3,5)); -> 0. You should never mix quoted and unquoted values in an IN () list because the comparison rules for quoted values (such as strings) and unquoted values (such as numbers) differ.
Comparison conditions compare one expression with another. The result of such a comparison can be TRUE, FALSE, or UNKNOWN. Large objects (LOBs) are not supported in comparison conditions. However, you can use PL/SQL programs for comparisons on CLOB data.
Solution: To filter out employees with the last name Crawford, you can use the != operator. This operator checks that the values on either side of it are not equal.
