MySQL Compare Three Numbers: Find Largest

To compare the size of three numbers, you can use MySQL’s IF statement and comparison operators. Here is an example:

SELECT 
    IF(a > b AND a > c, 'a 最大', 
       IF(b > a AND b > c, 'b 最大', 
          IF(c > a AND c > b, 'c 最大', '三个数相等'))) AS max_result
FROM 
    your_table;

In this example, assume there are three columns a, b, and c representing three numbers. Within the SELECT statement, a nested IF statement is used to determine which number is the greatest. If a is greater than b and greater than c, then output ‘a is the greatest’; if b is greater than a and greater than c, then output ‘b is the greatest’; if c is greater than a and greater than b, then output ‘c is the greatest’; if all three numbers are equal, then output ‘all three numbers are equal’.

Note: In actual use, your_table should be replaced with the actual table name.
