Simply convert the values to numbers:

let $v3 :=<a>7900000.00</a> let $v2:=<a>930000.00</a> return number($v2) <= number($v3)

Hi,

I am trying to compare two variable in basex as given,

let $v3 :=<a>7900000.00</a> let $v2:=<a>930000.00</a> return $v2 <= $v3

I am expecting that it will give me true, But it is giving false. I think it is because of the comparison is only string comparison. Is it possible to configure basex for numeric comparison without changing the expression $V2 <= $V3 , or I have to explicitly convert variable value to decimal and then compare it.

Thanks, Ankit
