Arguments

X and Y is a scalar/pair/vector/matrix. If X or Y is a pair/vector/matrix, the other is a scalar or a pair/vector/matrix of the same size.

Details

Return the element-by-element logical X OR Y. If the operands contain NULL values, the operator || returns NULL.

If the operands of or or || contain NULL values, the operator || returns NULL, while the function or returns different results for different server versions:

  • For versions earlier than 1.30.21.4/2.00.9.4, or returns NULL.

  • For version 1.30.21.4/2.00.9.4 or higher, the result may differ based on the configuration parameter logicOrIgnoreNull.
