DataView DQL missing *NOT*

Help
1

Things I have tried

I’ve looked through the help pages and NOT seems unavailable.
In SQL the NOT command is used with WHERE to only include rows where a condition is not true.

What I’m trying to do

I have 2000 notes from the Pocket system as markdown files. Many sourced from YouTube, lots from elsewhere.

I want to have a note listing all the non-YouTube entries.
I’ve created a note that gives all the YouTube notes using

```dataview
table Title, URL, File
from "Pocket notes"
WHERE contains(string(URL),"youtube") OR  contains(string(URL),"youtu.be")

I cannot see how to construct a query returning everything NOT youtube…

It is early days for me with both DataView and Obsidian so all thoughts will be gratefully received

In DQL you can use in WHERE the ! as negation.
Examples:

  • WHERE file.name != this.file.name
  • WHERE !contains(file.name, "word")
