# Comparison Functions
|
|
|
|
Below comparison functions return 0 or 1 as Uint8.
|
|
|
|
The following types can be compared:
|
|
- numbers
|
|
- strings and fixed strings
|
|
- dates
|
|
- dates with times
|
|
|
|
Only values within the same group can be compared (e.g. UInt16 and UInt64) but not across groups (e.g. UInt16 and DateTime).
|
|
|
|
Strings are compared byte-by-byte. Note that this may lead to unexpected results if one of the strings contains UTF-8 encoded multi-byte characters.
|
|
|
|
A string S1 which has another string S2 as prefix is considered longer than S2.
