!< (Not Less Than) (Transact-SQL)

[!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 value lower than the right operand; otherwise, the result is FALSE. If either or both operands are NULL, see the topic SET ANSI_NULLS (Transact-SQL).
