Operators
In calculations, symbols that indicate how to combine two or more expressions. These
include the standard arithmetic operators (+, -, /, *), logical operators that set up conditions
that must be met to make a value True or False (AND, OR, XOR, and NOT), and find
operators (<, =, @) that help you limit the records defined in a find request.
In the relationships graph, symbols that define the match criteria between one or more
pairs of fields in two tables. These include: != (not equal), > (greater than), < (less than),
= (equal), <= (less than or equal to), >= (greater than or equal to) and x (all rows, or
cartesian product).
