Conventions for Free Numeric Values

LegendBurster can store numeric values (called "Free Numeric Values") as numbers or as single thresholds, as described below.  These numbers and thresholds may be used in queries.  

All numbers are treated as double precision real numbers  -  for all practical purposes working to the same number of significant figures as entered for the attribute value.

Is Equal To

An attribute value that is equal to a number may be stored in the following three (equivalent) formats:

= 6.53       or       eq 6.53      or         6.53

Greater Than

An attribute value that is an exclusive minimum threshold may be stored in the following two equivalent formats:

> 6.53       or       gt 6.53

Less Than

An attribute value that is an exclusive maximum threshold may be stored in the following two equivalent formats:

< 6.53       or       lt 6.53
