I don't have 8.0 around to test, but I think that should be
("employeeName" != 'Kevin'). If you created the table with mixed-case
columns in double quotes or used a tool which double quoted them for you,
then you must double quote the column name when it's referenced, otherwise
the names are case-folded.
