Ronen Ariely is on a mission to be the greatest:
The function GREATEST returns the maximum value from a list of one or more expressions. It returns the data type with the highest precedence from the set of types passed to the function.
This function was added to Azure SQL. At this time, it is supported in Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance and Azure Synapse Analytics serverless.
Unfortunately, it not yet supported on SQL Server on premises and synapse dedicated sql pool.
