I'm a bit fuzzy at the moment due to pain meds after a minor surgery so I'm
hoping someone can spot my error (if I have an error)
Table has months, years and 'x' number of rows for each
The table has Years 2011 and 2012
In 2011, it has months 1-12
And in 2012 it has months 1-5
I run this:
Select month, year, count(*) -- month, and year are actual column names
From some_table
Where (month != 5 and year != 2012)
Group by month, year
/
The data set I get is Months 6-12 for 2011 *ONLY*
Shouldn't that query *ONLY* exclude MONTH=5 and YEAR 12 together? (instead of
ALL 2012 and ALL 5s?)
