how to get the max value in an array
hi guys:
I'm using int[] in postgrsql to store int array. I want to get max
value of each row . While I can't find any function to get it(max
function will get max array in one column) . Even I could write a sql
function to get the max value. I still think a native funtion is better
. Can your guys help me?
Thanks

Please post questions like this to pgsql-general, rather than here.
What you are looking for is unnest:
rhaas=# select max(x) from unnest(array[1,2,3]) x;
max
-----
3
(1 row)
