使用regexp从mysql查询中排除结果

Question

I got a table with the following values

titles:
Accountant
Auditor
Bookkeper
Forensic Accountant
Tax Accountant

I'd like to select all the titles that don't contain "Accountant" in it, i'm currently trying with

SELECT * FROM careers WHERE title NOT REGEXP '^Accountant'

But it still selects "Forensic Accountant" and "Tax Accountant"

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

use not like instead of regexp:

SELECT * FROM careers WHERE title NOT LIKE '%Accountant%'

See the SQLFiddle

Answer 2

The regex is wrong, you are using the caret(^) , which means the words you are excluding should start with Accountant, instead remove the caret and you should be good

SELECT * FROM careers WHERE title NOT REGEXP 'Accountant'

To exclude something user defined, based on what jobtitle is selected, do something like the following

SELECT * FROM careers WHERE title NOT REGEXP (SELECT regexMatch FROM careers WHERE title = "Tax Accountant")

Answer 3

您可以像这样使用LIKE代替REGEXP：

SELECT * FROM careers WHERE title NOT LIKE '%Accountant%';
