ApsaraDB for OceanBase allows two or more types of data to be compared. The following list describes the possible comparison results:
- A non-zero value or TRUE
- 0 or False
- NULL
If the data types involved in a comparison are different, ApsaraDB for OceanBase automatically determines a data type for the comparison based on specific rules. Before comparison, the data is converted to this data type.
If the comparison type is text, you must also determine a collation for comparison.
