Comparison operators

The left and right operands must be expressions of the same type and the type must be allowed for that operator. You can use each comparison operator on decimal, float, integer, and string types. On boolean types, you can use the = and != comparison operators. See also the descriptions of these types in the API Reference for EPL (ApamaDoc) .

=	Equality	Produces the result true if the left operand's value is equal to the right operand's value and false if they are not equal.
!=	Inequality	Produces the result true if the left operand's value is not equal to the right operand's value and false if they are equal.
=>	Greater than or equal to	Produces the result true if the left operand's value is larger than or equal to the right operand's value and false otherwise.
