+### Except
+
+Except operations allow you to return rows from one query that do not appear
+in another query. Except queries are created by composing one or more select
+queries together:
+
+```php
+$allArticles = $articles->find();
+
+$published = $articles->find()
+    ->where(['published' => true]);
+
+$allArticles->except($published);
+```
+
+You can create `EXCEPT ALL` queries using the `exceptAll()` method:
+
+```php
+$allArticles = $articles->find();
+
+$published = $articles->find()
+    ->where(['published' => true]);
+
+$allArticles->exceptAll($published);
