我会使用kcrumley提供的解决方案 只需稍微修改它以处理null

create function dbo.HigherArgumentOrNull(@val1 int, @val2 int)
returns int
as
begin
  if @val1 >= @val2
    return @val1
  if @val1 < @val2
    return @val2

 return NULL
end

编辑 在Mark的评论后修改。正如他在3值逻辑x > NULL或x < NULL应该总是返回NULL。换句话说，未知的结果。

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

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

在MemSQL中执行以下操作:

-- DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS InlineMax;
DELIMITER //
CREATE FUNCTION InlineMax(val1 INT, val2 INT) RETURNS INT AS
DECLARE
  val3 INT = 0;
BEGIN
 IF val1 > val2 THEN
   RETURN val1;
 ELSE
   RETURN val2;
 END IF; 
END //
DELIMITER ;

SELECT InlineMax(1,2) as test;

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

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)
