Comparison functions
--------------------
Comparison functions always return 0 or 1 (Uint8).
The following types can be compared:
* numbers
* strings and fixed strings
* dates
* dates with times
within each group, but not between different groups.
For example, you can't compare a date with a string. You have to use a function to convert the string to a date, or vice versa.
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.
