Declaration
// C#
public int CompareTo(object obj);
Parameters
obj
The supplied instance.

ArgumentException - The parameter is not of type OracleDecimal.
Remarks
The following rules apply to the behavior of this method.
The comparison must be between OracleDecimals. For example, comparing an OracleDecimal instance with an OracleBinary instance is not allowed. When an OracleDecimal is compared with a different type, an ArgumentException is thrown.
Any OracleDecimal that has a value compares greater than an OracleDecimal that has a null value.
Two OracleDecimals that contain a null value are equal.
