I try to convert code from other database to Postgres.

CREATE TABLE test(test BOOLEAN);
SELECT MAX(test) FROM test;

causes error

ERROR:  function max(boolean) does not exist
HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You may need to add explicit type casts.

I tried
SELECT MAX(test:integer)::boolean FROM test;

but this casuses error

ERROR:  cannot cast type boolean to integer

I have lot of MAX() functions applied to boolean expressions.

How to force Postgres to calculate MAX(boolean) ?
MAX(boolean) should return true if its argument evaluates true for at least one row.
Use bool_or(boolean)  instead.
