Warning
SingleStore 9.0 gives you the opportunity to preview, evaluate, and provide feedback on new and upcoming features prior to their general availability. In the interim, SingleStore 8.9 is recommended for production workloads, which can later be upgraded to SingleStore 9.0.
strcmp()
On this page
The strcmp(v1, v2)
function takes two string values.
It returns NULL if either input is NULL.
For example:
CREATE TABLE sc_r (t varchar(20));INSERT INTO sc_r VALUES('blue'), ('orange'), ('yellow');
SELECT r1.t, r2.t, strcmp(r1.t, r2.t) FROM sc_r AS r1, sc_r AS r2;
+--------+--------+--------------------+
| t | t | strcmp(r1.t, r2.t) |
+--------+--------+--------------------+
| blue | blue | 0 |
| blue | orange | -1 |
| blue | yellow | -1 |
| orange | blue | 1 |
| orange | orange | 0 |
| orange | yellow | -1 |
| yellow | blue | 1 |
| yellow | orange | 1 |
| yellow | yellow | 0 |
+--------+--------+--------------------+
