Comparative Operators

When you perform an Advanced lookup or a SQL Where Clause lookup, you can use a number of comparative operators, such as "equals," "less than," "greater than," and "starts with."

For example, the following WHERE clause, in which the comparative operator is >, meaning "greater than," searches for all projects where the project number is greater than 97000.00:

( PROJ.prProject>’97000.00’)

You use different operators with different data types: string, date, number, memo, check box, and employee.

Operator Data Type Expression SQL Where
equals string Project Name equals "Project Red" PR.Name = 'Project Red'
in list string Project Name in list "Project Red" PR.Name = 'Project Red'
starts with string Project Name starts with "Project Red" PR.Name LIKE 'Project Red%'
equals date Incident Date equal 08/14/06 DATEDIFF(dd,'2006-08-14', ProjectCustomTabFields.custIncidentDate) = 0
greater than date Incident Date greater than 08/14/06 ProjectCustomTabFields.custIncidentDate > '2006-08-14'
less than date Incident Date less than 08/14/06 ProjectCustomTabFields.custIncidentDate < '2006-08-14'
equals number Prior Years with this Firm equals 10 EM.PriorYearsFirm= 10
greater than number Prior Years with this Firm greater than 10 EM.PriorYearsFirm> 10
less than number Prior Years with this Firm less than 10 EM.PriorYearsFirm< 10
contains memo Test Memo contains Studio EmployeeCustomTabFields.custtestmemo LIKE '%Studio%'
not contains memo Test Memo not contains Studio EmployeeCustomTabFields.custtestmemo Not LIKE '%Studio%'
empty memo Test Memo empty EmployeeCustomTabFields.custtestmemo is Null
not empty memo Test Memo not empty EmployeeCustomTabFields.custtestmemo is not null
checked checkbox N/A N/A
not checked checkbox N/A N/A
equals employee N/A N/A
in list employee N/A N/A
