This topic describes mathematical and logical operations between different data types in Realtime Compute for Apache Flink.

Note The data types of numeric1 and numeric2 in a mathematical operation must be the same.
Mathematical operation Description Data types supported by numeric1 and numeric2 Example
numeric1 + numeric2 Returns the sum of two numbers in a mathematical operation.
  • INT
  • DOUBLE
  • DECIMAL
  • BIGINT
 2+4.2
numeric1 - numeric2 Returns the difference between two numbers in a mathematical operation. 3-5.3
numeric1 * numeric2 Returns the product of two numbers in a mathematical operation. 2*4
numeric1 / numeric2 Returns the quotient of two numbers in a mathematical operation. 2.4/5
numeric1 > numeric2 Checks whether the first number is greater than the second number in a mathematical operation. 2.4>5
numeric1 < numeric2 Checks whether the first number is less than the second number in a mathematical operation. 2.4<5
numeric1 >= numeric2 Checks whether the first number is greater than or equal to the second number in a mathematical operation. 2.4>=5
numeric1 <= numeric2 Checks whether the first number is less than or equal to the second number in a mathematical operation. 2.4<=5
numeric1 = numeric2 Checks whether the two numbers in a mathematical operation are equal to each other.
  • INT
  • DOUBLE
  • DECIMAL
  • BIGINT
  • VARCHAR
 'iphone' = 5
numeric1 <> numeric2 Checks whether the two numbers in a mathematical operation are not equal to each other. 'iphone' <> 5
