I have a table with column TYPE1, TYPE2, TYPE3, TYPE4. I want to select rows that doesn't have 'METALS' in any of these 4 columns.

I tried to query using 'OR' OPERATOR but it won't work.

Can any one help me with this?

Thanks

you want a AND operator not OR

Slect * from mytable where
not type1 = 'METALS'
and
not type2 = 'METALS'
and
not type3 = 'METALS'
and
not type4 = 'METALS'
