Subject: pgsql: Add min() and max() aggregate support for uuid.
Date: Wed, 01 Jul 2026 18:43:14 +0000
Message-ID: <E1wezty-000zKr-0l@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Add min() and max() aggregate support for uuid.

The uuid type already has a full set of comparison operators and a
btree operator class, so it is totally ordered.  min() and max() were
the only common aggregates missing for it. Add the uuid_larger() and
uuid_smaller() support functions and register the min(uuid) and
max(uuid) aggregates that use them.

uuid values are compared lexicographically over their 128 bits.  For
UUIDv7, whose most significant bits encode a Unix timestamp, this
coincides with chronological order, so min() and max() return the
oldest and newest values.

Bump catalog version.
