and / or / not
Bitwise binary_and(), binary_or(), binary_xor(), binary_shift_left(), binary_shift_right(), binary_not()KQL spells these as functions, not infix operators. ClickHouse gets its named bit functions; PostgreSQL and DuckDB get the infix &, |, #, <<, >>, ~ — except DuckDB's XOR, which becomes xor(a, b) since it has no infix form. MySQL and SQLite reject them, because KQL masks a 64-bit shift count to 6 bits and their infix operators would silently diverge rather than match
notin / notin~Alias for !in / !in~
Bracketed identifiers ['col name']⚠️Quoted with backticks for ClickHouse and double quotes for everything else, MySQL included. MySQL accepts double-quoted identifiers only with ANSI_QUOTES enabled; without it, an identifier needing quotes fails
