在SQL Server 2012或更高版本中，您可以使用IIF和ISNULL(或COALESCE)的组合来获得最多2个值。 即使其中一个是NULL。

IIF(col1 >= col2, col1, ISNULL(col2, col1)) 

或者当两者都为NULL时，希望它返回0

IIF(col1 >= col2, col1, COALESCE(col2, col1, 0)) 

示例代码片段:

-- use table variable for testing purposes
declare @Order table 
(
  OrderId int primary key identity(1,1),
  NegotiatedPrice decimal(10,2),
  SuggestedPrice decimal(10,2)
);

-- Sample data
insert into @Order (NegotiatedPrice, SuggestedPrice) values
(0, 1),
(2, 1),
(3, null),
(null, 4);

-- Query
SELECT 
     o.OrderId, o.NegotiatedPrice, o.SuggestedPrice, 
     IIF(o.NegotiatedPrice >= o.SuggestedPrice, o.NegotiatedPrice, ISNULL(o.SuggestedPrice, o.NegotiatedPrice)) AS MaxPrice
FROM @Order o

结果:

OrderId NegotiatedPrice SuggestedPrice  MaxPrice
1       0,00            1,00            1,00
2       2,00            1,00            2,00
3       3,00            NULL            3,00
4       NULL            4,00            4,00

但如果需要多列中的最大值呢? 然后我建议在值的聚合上使用CROSS APPLY。

例子:

SELECT t.*
, ca.[Maximum]
, ca.[Minimum], ca.[Total], ca.[Average]
FROM SomeTable t
CROSS APPLY (
   SELECT 
    MAX(v.col) AS [Maximum], 
    MIN(v.col) AS [Minimum], 
    SUM(v.col) AS [Total], 
    AVG(v.col) AS [Average]
   FROM (VALUES (t.Col1), (t.Col2), (t.Col3), (t.Col4)) v(col)
) ca

这有一个额外的好处，它可以同时计算其他的东西。

扩展Xin的答案并假设比较值类型是INT，这种方法也适用:

SELECT IIF(ISNULL(@A, -2147483648) > ISNULL(@B, -2147483648), @A, @B)

这是一个完整的测试示例值:

DECLARE @A AS INT
DECLARE @B AS INT

SELECT  @A = 2, @B = 1
SELECT  IIF(ISNULL(@A, -2147483648) > ISNULL(@B, -2147483648), @A, @B)
-- 2

SELECT  @A = 2, @B = 3
SELECT  IIF(ISNULL(@A, -2147483648) > ISNULL(@B, -2147483648), @A, @B)
-- 3

SELECT  @A = 2, @B = NULL
SELECT  IIF(ISNULL(@A, -2147483648) > ISNULL(@B, -2147483648), @A, @B)
-- 2    

SELECT  @A = NULL, @B = 1
SELECT  IIF(ISNULL(@A, -2147483648) > ISNULL(@B, -2147483648), @A, @B)
-- 1

DECLARE @MAX INT
@MAX = (SELECT MAX(VALUE) 
               FROM (SELECT 1 AS VALUE UNION 
                     SELECT 2 AS VALUE) AS T1)

其他答案都很好，但如果你不得不担心有NULL值，你可能会想要这个变体:

SELECT o.OrderId, 
   CASE WHEN ISNULL(o.NegotiatedPrice, o.SuggestedPrice) > ISNULL(o.SuggestedPrice, o.NegotiatedPrice)
        THEN ISNULL(o.NegotiatedPrice, o.SuggestedPrice)
        ELSE ISNULL(o.SuggestedPrice, o.NegotiatedPrice)
   END
FROM Order o

 -- 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;

如果你想拥有与你的例子相似的语法，你需要创建一个用户定义的函数，但是你能像其他人所说的那样，用一个CASE语句很容易地做你想做的事情，内联。

UDF可以是这样的:

create function dbo.InlineMax(@val1 int, @val2 int)
returns int
as
begin
  if @val1 > @val2
    return @val1
  return isnull(@val2,@val1)
end

．.． 你会这样称呼它…

SELECT o.OrderId, dbo.InlineMax(o.NegotiatedPrice, o.SuggestedPrice) 
FROM Order o
