tinstant_cmp() int tinstant_cmp ( const TInstant *  inst1, const TInstant *  inst2  ) Return -1, 0, or 1 depending on whether the first temporal instant is less than, equal, or greater than the second one. Precondition The arguments are of the same base type Note The internal B-tree comparator is not used to increase efficiency. This function supposes for optimization purposes that the flags of two temporal instants of the same base type are equal. This hypothesis may change in the future and the function must be adapted accordingly. SQL Function: tbool_cmp(), tint_cmp(), tfloat_cmp(), ttext_cmp(), etc.
