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

Declaration

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

Parameters

• obj

  The supplied object.

Return Value

The method returns a number:

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

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

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

Implements

IComparable

Exceptions

ArgumentException - The obj parameter is not of type OracleIntervalYM.

Remarks

The following rules apply to the behavior of this method.

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

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

• Two OracleIntervalYMs that contain a null value are equal.
