class	IliDatatype

Detailed Description

User interface class.

Library: dataccess

The purpose of the IliValue class is to support polymorphism for the most primitive data types, such as character string, integer, and float. An IliValue object can hold a value belonging to any of these primitive types. Moreover, the type of this value can be changed dynamically. The IliDatatype class is used to represent the dynamic type of an IliValue object.

About Comparison These operators and the member function described in this section compare two values according to the following rules:

• If the two values have the same dynamic type, the comparison is relative to that type.

If both types differ:

• and they are both numeric, the values are first converted to IlDouble and the comparison carried out on the IlDouble values.
• and they are not numeric, the values are considered not comparable.

When both types are equal or numeric:

• if one of the values is null and the other is not null, then the null value is considered less than the non null value.
• if both values are null they are equal.
