Overview
Greater than or equal to.
USAGE
value1 >= value2
Value Name | Description |
|---|---|
| The two values to compare |
DETAILS
The >= operator checks if the first value is greater than or equal to the second value and returns 1 (true) or 0 (false).
If at least one value is a number, a numeric comparison is performed. Thus, a string value is converted into a number when paired with a numeric value.
When both values are strings, the comparison takes into account the current sort order, which might treat uppercase and lowercase letters as equivalent.
A NULL is returned if either value is NULL.
The conditional expression x >= y behaves in exactly the same manner as the function call GTEQ(x, y).
EXAMPLES
SELECT 99 >= 123, PI() >= 3;
+-----------+-----------+
| 99 >= 123 | PI() >= 3 |
+-----------+-----------+
| 0 | 1 |
+-----------+-----------+
-- Disable strict mode or the comparison might throw an error
SET sql_mode = '';
SELECT 99 >= '99a', '99' >= '99a';
+-------------+---------------+
| 99 >= '99a' | '99' >= '99a' |
+-------------+---------------+
| 1 | 0 |
