子查询可以从Outer查询访问列，因此可以使用这种方法跨列使用MAX等聚合。(不过，当涉及到大量列时可能更有用)

;WITH [Order] AS
(
SELECT 1 AS OrderId, 100 AS NegotiatedPrice, 110 AS SuggestedPrice UNION ALL
SELECT 2 AS OrderId, 1000 AS NegotiatedPrice, 50 AS SuggestedPrice
)
SELECT
       o.OrderId, 
       (SELECT MAX(price)FROM 
           (SELECT o.NegotiatedPrice AS price 
            UNION ALL SELECT o.SuggestedPrice) d) 
        AS MaxPrice 
FROM  [Order]  o

select OrderId, (
    select max([Price]) from (
        select NegotiatedPrice [Price]
        union all
        select SuggestedPrice
    ) p
) from [Order]

 -- Simple way without "functions" or "IF" or "CASE"
 -- Query to select maximum value
 SELECT o.OrderId
  ,(SELECT MAX(v)
   FROM (VALUES (o.NegotiatedPrice), (o.SuggestedPrice)) AS value(v)) AS MaxValue
  FROM Order o;

对于SQL Server 2012:

SELECT 
    o.OrderId, 
    IIF( o.NegotiatedPrice >= o.SuggestedPrice,
         o.NegotiatedPrice, 
         ISNULL(o.SuggestedPrice, o.NegiatedPrice) 
    )
FROM 
    Order o

试试这个。它可以处理2个以上的值

SELECT Max(v) FROM (VALUES (1), (2), (3)) AS value(v)

我可能不会这样做，因为它比前面提到的CASE结构效率更低——除非您为两个查询都有覆盖索引。不管怎样，对于类似的问题，这都是一个有用的技巧:

SELECT OrderId, MAX(Price) as Price FROM (
   SELECT o.OrderId, o.NegotiatedPrice as Price FROM Order o
   UNION ALL
   SELECT o.OrderId, o.SuggestedPrice as Price FROM Order o
) as A
GROUP BY OrderId
