I would expect coalesce(coalesce(greatest(a,b),a),b) to do what you want. It's not terribly legible though and if a and b are subselects I would worry a little about the optimizer rerunning them unnecessarily. Perhaps coalesce(greatest(a,b), coalesce(a,b)) is more legible? -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
