Derby should follow SQL standards when operand(s) in the collation operation 
have collation derivation of NONE

                 Key: DERBY-2678
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2678
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 10.3.0.0
            Reporter: Mamta A. Satoor


The collation methods in Derby should follow the rules defined by SQL spec in 
Section 9.13 Collation determination Syntax Rules 2 and 3e. 

According to those rules, 
1)at least one operand shall have a declared type collation (that means if the 
comparison is sysChar1|userChar1 > sysChar2|userChar2, then such a comparison 
will fail because both sides of > operator have collation derivation of NONE. 
But if the comparison is sysChar|userChar1 > sysChar2, then it shouldn't fail 
because although the left hand operand has collation derivation of NONE, the 
right hand operand has collation derivation of IMPLICIT and hence the 
comparison is possible). 
2)every operand whose collation derivation is IMPLICIT shall have the same 
declared type collation (that means if the comparison is sysChar1 > 
userChar1WithTerritoryBasedCollation, then such a comparison will fail because 
left operand has collation derivation as IMPLICIT and collation type as 
UCS_BASIC and the right operand has collation derivation IMPLICIT and collation 
type as TERRITORY_BASED. But if the comparison is sysChar1 > sysChar2, then 
comparison won't fail because both the operands have same collation derivation 
and type.)
