almost no operations on 390 varchar

been trying to explain to a colleague why it might be that the

<>

operator tosses a -134 error for any 255 < varchar. needless to
say, this doesn't happen on LUW. the SQL reference says that
about the only operator that's allowed is

LIKE

but doesn't offer an explanation.
