Update to my WHERE clause in an APEX Class

I have the following working code snippet but need to add a second condition to the WHERE clause.. 
/* Get the QuoteLineItem children of this Quote record 
        that meet the criteria defined in the WHERE clause */
        List<XX_ORD1__Quote_Line_Item__c> quoteLineItems = [
            SELECT Id, BSO_Template_V__c
            FROM XX_ORD1__Quote_Line_Item__c 
            WHERE XX_ORD1__Parent_QLI__c = null 
            AND XX_ORD1__Quote__c = :quoteId
        ];
Question#1: How do I add an extra AND clause:  XX_ORD1__QLI_Type__c  NOT LIKE 'Termination' (this is from a picklist)?
Question #2: How do I test the SOQL part in the sandbox before sending the Change Set to production (the Developer Console)?

Hi,

Question#1: 

LIKE needs '%' for the extra characters at the beginning or/and at the end.

For the picklist values, there is only a specific syntax for the multi-picklist with includes like above.

            FROM XX_ORD1__Quote_Line_Item__c 
            WHERE XX_ORD1__Parent_QLI__c = null 
            AND XX_ORD1__Quote__c = :quoteId

            AND NOT ( XX_ORD1__QLI_Type__c LIKE '%Termination%' ) 

        ];


Question #2:

You can test your query with the Developer Console (tab Query Editor) or the Workbench.

Hi ,

i think following field is picklist XX_ORD1__QLI_Type__c   picklist fields not supporting to the like opertor.
You can use includes instead of that.

like 

XX_ORD1__QLI_Type__c    includes ('AAA;BBB','CCC') 

Hope this helps you!
