How to use 'NOT LIKE' in SALESFORCE SOQL

Hi everyone:
    Business Scenario:
        They would like something update where a field on the record is NOT LIKE "adviser." Or in simplest terms does not contain "Adviser".

Solution for developers in APEX:

APEX will not allow someone to write a simple query such as:
SELECT Name From ABC where id=:Ownerid and Name NOT Like '%adviser%';

So solution is simple:
SELECT NAME From ABC where id=:Ownerid and (NOT Name Like  '%adviser%');

If you are utilizing GROUP By statements here is an example of one:


 AggregateResult[] groupedResults = 
         [SELECT Ownerid,Count(Id) ce 
         FROM Opportunity Where 
         Withdrawn__c = True 
         AND StageName = 'Closed Won' 
         AND Withdrawal_Status__c ='Withdrawn' 
         AND Withdrawn_Date__c = THIS_MONTH  
         AND Ownerid=:id 
         AND (NOT Name Like '%COMP%')
         GROUP BY Ownerid];  

Hope this Helps.
Thanks
Zishan
