What is the meaning of <> in mysql query?
<p>I have a MySQL query that includes &lt;> in it. I don't know the exact usage of it.</p>

<pre><code>SELECT * FROM table_laef WHERE id = ? AND genre_type &lt;&gt; 'LIVE'
</code></pre>

<p>P.S.: Im sorry for this basic syntax, since I have searched for this on Google. All they give is about &lt;=>. Thanks anyway, guys!</p>
