I have two SQL DATETIME’s that I need to compare. I need to set the value of a column to be the more recent date between the two. Is there a function for this?

What I ended up doing was
I ended up doing this because if one of the dates was null, then the compare wouldn’t work correctly. So I used COALESCE with a date in the past that I knew would be a good baseline, then did my comparison. Thanks for your help everyone!
