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

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)

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

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

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。

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[fnMax] (@p1 INT, @p2 INT)
RETURNS INT
AS BEGIN

    DECLARE @Result INT

    SET @p2 = COALESCE(@p2, @p1)

    SELECT
        @Result = (
                   SELECT
                    CASE WHEN @p1 > @p2 THEN @p1
                         ELSE @p2
                    END
                  )

    RETURN @Result

END
