Comparison Predicates

Usage Notes

The following tables lists the comparison predicates you can use:

Predicates Description
= Equality check
!= Inequality check (the aliases <> and ^= also exist for this)
< Check for "less than"
<= Check for "less than or equal to"
> Check for "more than"
>= Check for "more than or equal to"
  • If one of the two expressions is a NULL value, the result is also a NULL value.
