RE: Re[2]: [SQL] Please help: How to determine largest of two num bers in a query?

Many many thanks.. This is exactly what I was looking for.

I must be totally blind... Where can I find a list of the functions Postgres
already has.. I'm sure there has to be a way..

PostgreSQL has already these built-in funcions (those used on
aggregate MIN/MAX):

int2 |int2larger |int2 int2 |larger of two
int2 |int2smaller |int2 int2 |smaller of two

int4 |int4larger |int4 int4 |larger of two

int4 |int4smaller |int4 int4 |smaller of two

int8 |int8larger |int8 int8 |larger of two

int8 |int8smaller |int8 int8 |smaller of two

exemple:

SELECT int4larger(3,10)
int4larger
----------
10
(1 row)
