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)

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。

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)

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

 -- 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;
