Quick Question about SQL Query Syntax

I am going through some source code on the Pligg CMS right now, and in one of the SQL queries I ran into this bit of logic:

AND user_level<>"god";

Code (markup):

I get the general gist of this, the table value for user_level is relating to being equal to "god", but i'm not sure what the <> means. I assume it means "if user_level is NOT equal to 'god'", but I can't find any documentation on MySQL's website or through Google.

 

Correct, it's "not equal to". It's the same as typing != if you're more familiar with that.

At least that's how it's been interpreted in every SQL server I've used so far

 

(<>) = (!=)

 

ya on sql for not equal u can use both <> and !=

 

in the sql we can use the both signs for not equal to like <> and != both are equivalend and do the same function
