[!INCLUDEtsql-appliesto-ss2008-asdb-xxxx-xxx_md]

Compares two expressions (a comparison operator). When you compare nonnull expressions, the result is TRUE if the left operand does not have a greater value than the right operand; otherwise, the result is FALSE. Unlike the = (equality) comparison operator, the result of the !> comparison of two NULL values does not depend on the ANSI_NULLS setting.
