You can pass variadic arguments as a array

postgres=# \sf smallest

$function$

postgres=# select smallest(VARIADIC ARRAY[1,2,3]);
┌──────────┐
│ smallest │

(1 row)


That's very helpful and good to know. It's too bad that doesn't work with LEAST/GREATEST, which would eliminate the need for extra functions.

Thanks!
