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

SELECT o.OrderId,   
--MAX(o.NegotiatedPrice, o.SuggestedPrice)  
(SELECT MAX(v) FROM (VALUES (o.NegotiatedPrice), (o.SuggestedPrice)) AS value(v)) as ChoosenPrice  
FROM Order o

如果你使用的是SQL Server 2008(或更高版本)，那么这是更好的解决方案:

SELECT o.OrderId,
       (SELECT MAX(Price)
        FROM (VALUES (o.NegotiatedPrice),(o.SuggestedPrice)) AS AllPrices(Price))
FROM Order o

所有的信用和投票都应该去Sven对一个相关问题的答案，“多列的SQL MAX ?” 我说这是“最佳答案”，因为:

It doesn't require complicating your code with UNION's, PIVOT's, UNPIVOT's, UDF's, and crazy-long CASE statments. It isn't plagued with the problem of handling nulls, it handles them just fine. It's easy to swap out the "MAX" with "MIN", "AVG", or "SUM". You can use any aggregate function to find the aggregate over many different columns. You're not limited to the names I used (i.e. "AllPrices" and "Price"). You can pick your own names to make it easier to read and understand for the next guy. You can find multiple aggregates using SQL Server 2008's derived_tables like so: SELECT MAX(a), MAX(b) FROM (VALUES (1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6), (7, 8), (9, 10) ) AS MyTable(a, b)

其实很简单:

CREATE FUNCTION InlineMax
(
    @p1 sql_variant,
    @p2 sql_variant
)  RETURNS sql_variant
AS
BEGIN
    RETURN CASE 
        WHEN @p1 IS NULL AND @p2 IS NOT NULL THEN @p2 
        WHEN @p2 IS NULL AND @p1 IS NOT NULL THEN @p1
        WHEN @p1 > @p2 THEN @p1
        ELSE @p2 END
END;

SQL Server 2012引入IIF:

SELECT 
    o.OrderId, 
    IIF( ISNULL( o.NegotiatedPrice, 0 ) > ISNULL( o.SuggestedPrice, 0 ),
         o.NegotiatedPrice, 
         o.SuggestedPrice 
    )
FROM 
    Order o

建议在使用IIF时处理NULL，因为boolean表达式两侧的NULL将导致IIF返回false_value(而不是NULL)。

我不这么想。我那天想要这个。我最接近的说法是:

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