From the SELECT - SQL help:

Example 9

Example 9 displays FilterCondition in the form of FieldName [NOT] LIKE cExpression

customer.country NOT LIKE "UK"
>/pr>
This filter condition searches for each field that matches cExpression.

You can use the percent sign (%) and underscore ( _ ) wildcards as part of cExpression. The percent sign represents any sequence of unknown characters in the string. An underscore represents a single unknown character in the string.
