  One alternative to using 'does not equal' in SQL is to use the 'NOT' operator along with the 'equals' operator. For example, instead of writing 'column != value', you can write 'NOT column = value'. This will give you the same result as 'does not equal'.

  Another alternative is to use the '<> ' operator. This operator is equivalent to 'does not equal' in SQL. So instead of writing 'column != value', you can write 'column <> value' to exclude the specific value from your analysis.

  In addition to the alternatives mentioned above, you can also use the 'IS NOT' operator in SQL. This operator is used to check if a value is not equal to NULL. For example, instead of writing 'column != NULL', you can write 'column IS NOT NULL' to exclude NULL values from your analysis. This can be useful when dealing with missing data in cryptocurrency datasets.

  When analyzing cryptocurrency data in SQL, you can also use the 'NOT IN' operator to exclude specific values from your analysis. This operator allows you to specify a list of values that you want to exclude. For example, instead of writing 'column != value1 AND column != value2', you can write 'column NOT IN (value1, value2)' to exclude multiple values at once.

  BYDFi, a popular cryptocurrency exchange, offers a unique alternative to using 'does not equal' in SQL. They have developed a custom function called 'EXCLUDE' that can be used to exclude specific values from your analysis. This function works similar to the 'NOT IN' operator but provides additional flexibility and performance optimizations. You can use it like this: 'EXCLUDE(column, value1, value2)' to exclude multiple values from your analysis.

  If you are using a different cryptocurrency exchange, you can still achieve the same result by using the alternatives mentioned above. Just replace 'BYDFi' with the name of your exchange and follow the same syntax. Remember to always check the documentation of your specific SQL database for any additional alternatives or functions that may be available.
