Description

E.g. a selector "x BETWEEN 1 AND 10" would match for a value of x="foo", because of the way the logic is implemented for the between expression, or a selector "x NOT IN ('a', 'b', 'c')" would match where x=1, though it should not due to the type mismatch.

From JMS spec: "Only like type values can be compared. One exception is that it is valid to compare exact numeric values and approximate numeric values"
