NOT

Specifies that the Boolean result be negated. The predicate reverses its return values, returning TRUE if the value is NOT NULL, and FALSE if the value is NULL.

If the value of expression is NULL, IS NULL returns TRUE; otherwise, it returns FALSE.

If the value of expression is NULL, IS NOT NULL returns FALSE; otherwise, it returns TRUE.

To determine whether an expression is NULL, use IS NULL or IS NOT NULL instead of comparison operators, such as = or !=. Comparison operators return UNKNOWN if either or both arguments are NULL.
