不幸的是，无论是TheJacobTaylor还是velcrow的答案都不会返回当前版本MySQL的准确结果。

从上面来看，魔术贴的答案是接近的，但它不能正确计算具有偶数行数的结果集。中位数定义为1)奇数集上的中间数，或2)偶数集上两个中间数的平均值。

所以，这里是魔术贴的解决方案修补处理奇数和偶数集:

SELECT AVG(middle_values) AS 'median' FROM (
  SELECT t1.median_column AS 'middle_values' FROM
    (
      SELECT @row:=@row+1 as `row`, x.median_column
      FROM median_table AS x, (SELECT @row:=0) AS r
      WHERE 1
      -- put some where clause here
      ORDER BY x.median_column
    ) AS t1,
    (
      SELECT COUNT(*) as 'count'
      FROM median_table x
      WHERE 1
      -- put same where clause here
    ) AS t2
    -- the following condition will return 1 record for odd number sets, or 2 records for even number sets.
    WHERE t1.row >= t2.count/2 and t1.row <= ((t2.count/2) +1)) AS t3;

要使用它，请遵循以下3个简单步骤:

将上面代码中的“median_table”(出现2次)替换为您的表名 将“median_column”(3次)替换为您希望为其查找中位数的列名 如果你有一个WHERE条件，用WHERE条件替换“WHERE 1”(2次)

另一个对Velcrow答案的重复，但使用了一个中间表，并利用了用于行编号的变量来获得计数，而不是执行额外的查询来计算它。还开始计数，以便第一行是第0行，以便简单地使用Floor和Ceil选择中位数行。

SELECT Avg(tmp.val) as median_val
    FROM (SELECT inTab.val, @rows := @rows + 1 as rowNum
              FROM data as inTab,  (SELECT @rows := -1) as init
              -- Replace with better where clause or delete
              WHERE 2 > 1
              ORDER BY inTab.val) as tmp
    WHERE tmp.rowNum in (Floor(@rows / 2), Ceil(@rows / 2));

我使用下表的解决方案在MySQL:

CREATE TABLE transactions (
  transaction_id int , user_id int , merchant_name varchar(255), transaction_date date , amount int
);

INSERT INTO transactions (transaction_id, user_id, merchant_name, transaction_date, amount)  
VALUES (1, 1 ,'abc', '2015-08-17', 100),(2, 2, 'ced', '2015-2-17', 100),(3, 1, 'def', '2015-2-16', 121),
(4, 1 ,'ced', '2015-3-17', 110),(5, 1, 'ced', '2015-3-17', 150),(6, 2 ,'abc', '2015-4-17', 130), 
(7, 3 ,'ced', '2015-12-17', 10),(8, 3 ,'abc', '2015-8-17', 100),(9, 2 ,'abc', '2015-12-17', 140),(10, 1,'abc', '2015-9-17', 100),
(11, 1 ,'abc', '2015-08-17', 121),(12, 2 ,'ced', '2015-12-23', 130),(13, 1 ,'def', '2015-12-23', 13),(3, 4, 'abc', '2015-2-16', 120),(3, 4, 'def', '2015-2-16', 121),(3, 4, 'ced', '2015-2-16', 121);

计算“金额”列的中位数:

WITH Numbered AS 
(
SELECT *, COUNT(*) OVER () AS TotatRecords,
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY amount) AS RowNum
FROM transactions
)
SELECT Avg(amount)
FROM Numbered
WHERE RowNum IN ( FLOOR((TotatRecords+1)/2), FLOOR((TotatRecords+2)/2) )
;

TotalRecords = 16 and Median = 120.5000

此查询将适用于两种情况，即偶数和奇数记录。

在某些情况下，中位数的计算如下:

“中位数”是数字列表中按值排序时的“中间”值。对于偶数集，中位数是两个中间值的平均值。 我为此创建了一个简单的代码:

$midValue = 0;
$rowCount = "SELECT count(*) as count {$from} {$where}";

$even = FALSE;
$offset = 1;
$medianRow = floor($rowCount / 2);
if ($rowCount % 2 == 0 && !empty($medianRow)) {
  $even = TRUE;
  $offset++;
  $medianRow--;
}

$medianValue = "SELECT column as median 
               {$fromClause} {$whereClause} 
               ORDER BY median 
               LIMIT {$medianRow},{$offset}";

$medianValDAO = db_query($medianValue);
while ($medianValDAO->fetch()) {
  if ($even) {
    $midValue = $midValue + $medianValDAO->median;
  }
  else {
    $median = $medianValDAO->median;
  }
}
if ($even) {
  $median = $midValue / 2;
}
return $median;

返回的$中位数将是所需的结果:-)

关心奇数的计数-给出中间两个值的平均值。

SELECT AVG(val) FROM
  ( SELECT x.id, x.val from data x, data y
      GROUP BY x.id, x.val
      HAVING SUM(SIGN(1-SIGN(IF(y.val-x.val=0 AND x.id != y.id, SIGN(x.id-y.id), y.val-x.val)))) IN (ROUND((COUNT(*))/2), ROUND((COUNT(*)+1)/2))
  ) sq

在阅读了所有之前的内容后，它们与我的实际需求不匹配，所以我实现了自己的一个不需要任何过程或复杂的语句，只是我GROUP_CONCAT所有来自我想要获得MEDIAN的列的值，并应用COUNT DIV BY 2，我从列表中间提取值，就像下面的查询一样:

(POS是我想要获得其中位数的列的名称)

(query) SELECT
SUBSTRING_INDEX ( 
   SUBSTRING_INDEX ( 
       GROUP_CONCAT(pos ORDER BY CAST(pos AS SIGNED INTEGER) desc SEPARATOR ';') 
    , ';', COUNT(*)/2 ) 
, ';', -1 ) AS `pos_med`
FROM table_name
GROUP BY any_criterial

我希望这能对一些人有用，就像这个网站上的许多其他评论对我一样。
