Hi,
Recently I wanted to call array_reverse() and discovered that we still
don't have it. I'm not the first one who encountered this limitation.
array_reverse() was requested at least since 2009 [1] and the
workaround on PostgreSQL Wiki is dated 2010 [2].
The proposed patch adds this function. Only the first dimension of the
array is reversed, for consistency with the existing functions such as
array_shuffle() [3].
Examples:
=# SELECT array_reverse(ARRAY[1,2,3,NULL]);
array_reverse
---------------
{NULL,3,2,1}
=# SELECT array_reverse(ARRAY[[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]]);
array_reverse
---------------------
{{5,6},{3,4},{1,2}}
Thoughts?
