hi,
to pull the mail ids having the given symbols you can use the following query

select * from mail3 
where email like '%+%' or email like '%*%' or
email like '%^%' or email like '%&%'
 
or simply use the following query 
 
select * from mail3 
where email not like '%@%'

Thx,It worked.
Plz see the following query-

SELECT * FROM mail3
WHERE email NOT LIKE '%@%'
or email not like '%&%'

Instead of showing the particular records ,the above query is displaying all the records.

That's because of the OR. For the email with the "&" in it, the where evaluates like this:

email NOT LIKE '%@%' --> True
email NOT LIEK '%&%' ---> False
so you have
True OR False, which evaluates to True.

Put another way, every record in the table either doesn't have a "&" or it doesn't have a "@".
