'NOT LIKE' in an SQL query

Question

Why does this simple query return \'ORA-00936: missing expression\' (the database is Oracle as you can tell):

SELECT * FROM transactions WHERE id NOT LIKE \'1%\'         


        

Answer 1

After "AND" and after "OR" the QUERY has forgotten what it is all about.

I would also not know that it is about in any SQL / programming language.

if(SOMETHING equals "X" or SOMETHING equals "Y")

COLUMN NOT LIKE "A%" AND COLUMN NOT LIKE "B%"
