This method compares the current OracleIntervalDS instance to an object, and returns an integer that represents their relative values.

Declaration

// C#
public int CompareTo(object obj);

Parameters

• obj

  The object being compared to.

Return Value

The method returns:

• Less than zero: if the current OracleIntervalDS represents a shorter time interval than obj.

• Zero: if the current OracleIntervalDS and obj represent the same time interval.

• Greater than zero: if the current OracleIntervalDS represents a longer time interval than obj.

Implements

IComparable

Exceptions

ArgumentException - The obj parameter is not of type OracleIntervalDS.

Remarks

The following rules apply to the behavior of this method.

• The comparison must be between OracleIntervalDSs. For example, comparing an OracleIntervalDS instance with an OracleBinary instance is not allowed. When an OracleIntervalDS is compared with a different type, an ArgumentException is thrown.

• Any OracleIntervalDS that has a value compares greater than an OracleIntervalDS that has a null value.

• Two OracleIntervalDSs that contain a null value are equal.
