Mixed Operators

Note

Indexing Service is no longer supported as of Windows XP and is unavailable for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use Windows Search for client side search and Microsoft Search Server Express for server side search.

 

The following list describes the mixed operators.

DBOP_in

Membership test of a scalar or row in a table. Inputs for this operator are a row and a table; it produces a Boolean result as output.

DBOP_exists, DBOP_unique

These operators take a table T as input and produce a Boolean result as output. DBOP_exists evaluates to TRUE if the cardinality of T is greater than zero; otherwise it evaluates to FALSE. DBOP_unique detects duplicate rows in T. If any two rows in T are equal to one another, DBOP_unique evaluates to FALSE; otherwise, it evaluates to TRUE.

DBOP_subset, DBOP_proper_subset, DBOP_superset, DBOP_proper_superset, DBOP_disjoint,

These operators take two tables T1 and T2 as input and determine whether T1 is a subset, proper_subset, superset, proper_superset, or disjoint set of T2. The output is Boolean.
