------------------

Comparison functions always return 0 or 1 (Uint8).

The following types can be compared:

* dates
* dates with times

Strings are compared by bytes. A shorter string is smaller than all strings that start with it and that contain at least one more character.

Note: before version 1.1.54134 signed and unsigned numbers were compared the same way as in C++. That is, you could got an incorrect result in such cases: SELECT 9223372036854775807 > -1. From version 1.1.54134, the behavior has changed and numbers are compared mathematically correct.
