Returns |
Source values can be string literals, column references, or expressions that evaluate to strings.
String literal reference example:
stringgreaterthan('a','b') |
Output: Returns false since a evaluates to be less than b.
String literal reference example:
stringgreaterthan('a','ab') |
Output: Returns false since the second string contains an additional letter.
String literal reference example:
stringgreaterthan('abc','x') |
Output: Returns false since the first letter of the first string is less than the first letter of the second string.
Column reference example:
stringgreaterthan(string1,string2) |
Output: Returns the evaluation of string1 column values being greater than string2 column values.
stringgreaterthan(string_ref1,string_ref2 [,ignore_case]) |
