/*
 * CompareType - fundamental semantics of certain operators
 *
 * These enum symbols represent the fundamental semantics of certain operators
 * that the system needs to have some hardcoded knowledge about.  (For
 * example, RowCompareExpr needs to know which operators can be determined to
 * act like =, <>, <, etc.)  Index access methods map (some of) strategy
 * numbers to these values so that the system can know about the meaning of
 * (some of) the operators without needing hardcoded knowledge of index AM's
 * strategy numbering.
 *
 * XXX Currently, this mapping is not fully developed and most values are
 * chosen to match btree strategy numbers, which is not going to work very
 * well for other access methods.
