Get max of two dates from two different tables in teradata - scenario?

Answer 1

I am thinking of doing something like below to satisfy my requirement.

SELECT 
a.number,
CASE WHEN ZEROIFNULL(a.caldate1) > ZEROIFNULL(b.caldate2)
THEN a.caldate1  -- This is working
ELSE
b.caldate2
END AS caldate
/*COALESCE (a.caldate1,caldate2) AS caldate*/ -- This is not giving max of dates
FROM 
table1  a
LEFT OUTER JOIN
table2  b
ON
a.number = b.number

Thanks for helping. Now its done by the above method.
