My above post was to filter out interfaces, but then from what I understand as per your requirement you don't want to view interfaces related to certain nodes, to achieve this you will have to use the columns available in Interface Table.
As per your requirement -> " I would like to use a "Filter Nodes (SQL)" statement to report on all nodes *except* for nodes with a name of *map* (map is in middle of their names) OR nodes with a name of *123* for example. " You can use the below filters:
1. FullName Not Like '*map*'
2. FullName Not Like '*123*'
FullName will contain node name+ interface name under Interfaces Table, hence the above filters will work as expected.
Hope this helps, let me know how it goes.
