HAVING is only used in GROUP BY statements, it can't be used in a "vanilla" SELECT.
Instead, you need a WHERE clause.

SQL

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE <condition>

If you want all the rows where a column does not contain 666 for example, you can either reverse the condition:

SQL

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyColumn != 666

Or use the NOT operator:

SQL

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE NOT MyColumn = 666;

SQL syntax of HAVING:

SQL

SELECT expression1, expression2, ... expression_n, 
       aggregate_function (aggregate_expression)
FROM tables
[WHERE conditions]
GROUP BY expression1, expression2, ... expression_n
HAVING condition;

All Having needs is a condition. That condition is on you to define. You can always write the opposite of it and be done. Why do you need a NOT?

SQL

--NOT HAVING usage for above HAVING a>10
HAVING a<10

Another example:

SQL

--USe negate in the condition itself
HAVING SOMEID NOT IN (2,4)
