title: 'NOT LIKE' in an SQL query
body: <p>Why does this simple query return 'ORA-00936: missing expression' (the database is Oracle as you can tell):</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT * FROM transactions WHERE id NOT LIKE '1%' AND NOT LIKE '2%'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I feel silly, but what am I doing wrong?</p>
