operand-1
The subject of the relation condition. Can be an identifier, literal, function-identifier, arithmetic expression, or index-name.
operand-2
The object of the relation condition. Can be an identifier, literal, function-identifier, arithmetic expression, or index-name.
The relation condition must contain at least one reference to an identifier.
The relational operator specifies the type of comparison to be made. Table 21 shows relational operators and their meanings. Each relational operator must be preceded and followed by a space. The relational operators >= and <= must not have a space between them.
