MySQL(5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10-log)似乎使用>给出了字符串比较的可预测结果。 (大于)和< (小于):
select "a" > "a", "a" > "b", "b" > "a", "ab" > "aa", "ab" > "aabbbb";
+-----------+-----------+-----------+-------------+-----------------+
| "a" > "a" | "a" > "b" | "b" > "a" | "ab" > "aa" | "ab" > "aabbbb" |
+-----------+-----------+-----------+-------------+-----------------+
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
+-----------+-----------+-----------+-------------+-----------------+
并且似乎也使用了键:
explain select productcode from products where productcode < 'no';
+----+-------------+----------+-------+-----------------+------+---------+------+------+--------------------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+----------+-------+-----------------+------+---------+------+------+--------------------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | products | range | productcode,ppp | ppp | 34 | NULL | 432 | Using where; Using index |
+----+-------------+----------+-------+-----------------+------+---------+------+------+--------------------------+
这似乎没有记录 - 它是一个可靠的跨平台功能吗?

我认为有一些问题,你可以在这里查看文档了解一些细节:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/comparison-operators.html
如果你的字段也有空值,你还应该看看null-safe comparision运算符: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/comparison-operators.html#operator_equal-to
示例:
mysql> select "a" > "a ", "A" > "a" , "aB" > "ab" , "a" >= NULL , "a" <=> NULL ;
+------------+-----------+--------------+-------------+--------------+
| "a" > "a " | "A" > "a" | "aB" > "ab" | "a" >= NULL | "a" <=> NULL |
+------------+-----------+--------------+-------------+--------------+
| 0 | 0 | 0 | NULL | 0 |
+------------+-----------+--------------+-------------+--------------+

这些比较很常见。我确信通过ascii值或其他一些编码来比较字符串是跨平台支持的。对不起,我没有任何资源支持它。这可能是它在内部比较字符串(用于排序等)的方式。我希望这是一个主要特征。
