None of these are commands...

NOT IN was introduced in version 3.21.14a, it is a variant of the IN
comparison operator. From the manual:

  `expr NOT IN (value,...)'
     Same as `NOT (expr IN (value,...))'.

It can be used like this: SELECT * FROM table WHERE field NOT IN
('ended','canceled')
This is the same as: SELECT * FROM table WHERE NOT (field IN
('ended','canceled'))

NOT EXISTS can be used with the CREATE DATABASE and CREATE TABLE statements.
>From the manual:

  CREATE DATABASE [IF NOT EXISTS] db_name

and

  CREATE [TEMPORARY] TABLE [IF NOT EXISTS] tbl_name
[(create_definition,...)]
       [table_options] [select_statement]

Hope this helps,
