## Notes

- `.not()` expects you to use the raw [PostgREST syntax](https://postgrest.org/en/stable/api.html#horizontal-filtering-rows) for the filter names and values.

  ```js
    .not('name','eq','Paris')
    .not('arraycol','cs','{"a","b"}') // Use Postgres array {} for array column and 'cs' for contains.
    .not('rangecol','cs','(1,2]') // Use Postgres range syntax for range column.
    .not('id','in','(6,7)')  // Use Postgres list () for in filter.
    .not('id','in',`(${arr})`)  // You can insert a javascript array.
  ```
