Welcome!

I do not think that is a feature which will get much interest from the 
developers since it is unclear to me what the advantage of yet another 
alias for not equal would be. It just takes up yet another operator and 
means that there is yet another thing to remember for the users. 
Personally I feel it is bad enough that we have two ways of writing it.

What is he reason you want to add ^= is there any other databases which 
uses ^= for inequality?
