[jira] Commented: (DERBY-2603) Minor erratum in page of VARCHAR in Derby Reference manual

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2603?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12493380 ] 

Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-2603:
----------------------------------------

Could you expand on why you think that "binary" should be replaced by "boolean"?

I understand "binary" to describe the number of *arguments* that the operator has.

I understand "boolean" to describe the *result* of the operator.

Thus, to me, the two words are not easily interchangeable, so I'm
interested to understand more about the issue as you see it.

Thanks!

> I found next statement in the page through translation into Japanese.
> > When binary comparison operators are applied to VARCHARs, the lengths of the operands are not altered, and spaces at the end of the values are ignored.
> I think "binary" should be replaced as "boolean".
