I have to queries that return INT values, and I want to know if one is
less or equal to the other.
Is it posible to put it all in one query and have a return of 1 or 0?
I tried somethings with CASE, but it didn't work.

Porqué usar una base de datos relacional cualquiera,
si podés usar PostgreSQL?

Assuming each query returns only one row, something like the following (note
the brackets around the sub-selects and the fact they've been aliased).
=# SELECT (a.value1=b.value2) FROM (SELECT 100 as value1) as a, (SELECT 200 as
value2) as b;
?column?
----------
f
(1 row)
=# SELECT (a.value1=b.value2) FROM (SELECT 200 as value1) as a, (SELECT 200 as
value2) as b;
?column?
----------
t
(1 row)
