Bitwise Operators

You can use these bitwise operators on all unscaled integer data types, in both Sybase IQ and Adaptive Server Enterprise.

• The AND Operator (&)
  The AND operator compares 2 bits. If they are both 1, the result is 1.
• Bitwise OR (|)
  The OR operator compares 2 bits. If one or the other bit is 1, the result is 1.
• EXCLUSIVE OR (^)
  The EXCLUSIVE OR operator results in a 1 when either, but not both, of its two operands is 1.
• NOT (~)
  The NOT operator is a unary operator that returns the inverse of its operand.
