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));

我有下面的代码，我在HackerRank上找到的，它很简单，适用于每一种情况。

SELECT M.MEDIAN_COL FROM MEDIAN_TABLE M WHERE  
  (SELECT COUNT(MEDIAN_COL) FROM MEDIAN_TABLE WHERE MEDIAN_COL < M.MEDIAN_COL ) = 
  (SELECT COUNT(MEDIAN_COL) FROM MEDIAN_TABLE WHERE MEDIAN_COL > M.MEDIAN_COL );

create table med(id integer);
insert into med(id) values(1);
insert into med(id) values(2);
insert into med(id) values(3);
insert into med(id) values(4);
insert into med(id) values(5);
insert into med(id) values(6);

select (MIN(count)+MAX(count))/2 from 
(select case when (select count(*) from 
med A where A.id<B.id)=(select count(*)/2 from med) OR 
(select count(*) from med A where A.id>B.id)=(select count(*)/2 
from med) then cast(B.id as float)end as count from med B) C;

 ?column? 
----------
  3.5
(1 row)

OR

select cast(avg(id) as float) from 
(select t1.id from med t1 JOIN med t2 on t1.id!= t2.id 
group by t1.id having ABS(SUM(SIGN(t1.id-t2.id)))=1) A;

通常，我们不仅需要为整个表计算Median，还需要为与ID相关的聚合计算Median。换句话说，计算表中每个ID的中位数，其中每个ID有许多记录。(良好的性能和工作在许多SQL +修复偶数和赔率的问题，更多关于不同的中值方法的性能https://sqlperformance.com/2012/08/t-sql-queries/median)

SELECT our_id, AVG(1.0 * our_val) as Median
FROM
( SELECT our_id, our_val, 
  COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY our_id) AS cnt,
  ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY our_id ORDER BY our_val) AS rn
  FROM our_table
) AS x
WHERE rn IN ((cnt + 1)/2, (cnt + 2)/2) GROUP BY our_id;

希望能有所帮助

我建议另一种方法，不用连接， 但是处理字符串

我没有用大数据表来检验， 但是中小型的桌子就可以了。

这里的好处是，它也可以通过GROUPING工作，所以它可以返回几个项目的中值。

下面是测试表的测试代码:

DROP TABLE test.test_median
CREATE TABLE test.test_median AS
SELECT 'book' AS grp, 4 AS val UNION ALL
SELECT 'book', 7 UNION ALL
SELECT 'book', 2 UNION ALL
SELECT 'book', 2 UNION ALL
SELECT 'book', 9 UNION ALL
SELECT 'book', 8 UNION ALL
SELECT 'book', 3 UNION ALL

SELECT 'note', 11 UNION ALL

SELECT 'bike', 22 UNION ALL
SELECT 'bike', 26 

求每组中位数的代码:

SELECT grp,
         SUBSTRING_INDEX( SUBSTRING_INDEX( GROUP_CONCAT(val ORDER BY val), ',', COUNT(*)/2 ), ',', -1) as the_median,
         GROUP_CONCAT(val ORDER BY val) as all_vals_for_debug
FROM test.test_median
GROUP BY grp

输出:

grp | the_median| all_vals_for_debug
bike| 22        | 22,26
book| 4         | 2,2,3,4,7,8,9
note| 11        | 11

让我们创建一个名为numbers的示例表

这个答案是针对mysql数据库的

在postgres Sql中，它简单地使用per_cont函数

创建表数字( num INT, 频率整数 ）;

在数字表中插入值

插入数字 (7) 0 (1, 1), (2、3), (1) 3 (9,1), (1, 1), (2、3), (1) 3 (9,1);

——select * from numbers

作为递归num_frequency (num,frequency, i) （ 选择num,频率,1 从数字 UNION ALL 选择num,频率,i + 1 从num_frequency num_frequency的地方。I < num_frequency.frequency ）

select * (max(当numbers=lower_limit时，则num else null end)/2 +max(当数字=upper_limit时，则num else null end)/2)作为中位数 从( select *, total_number % 2, 情况下 当total_number%2=0时，total_number/2 Else (total_number+1)/2 end as lower_limit， 情况下 当total_number%2=0时，total_number/2+1 其他(total_number + 1) / 2 结束为upper_limit

从( Select *，max(numbers) over() as total_number from ( Select num,row_number() over(按num排序) 作为num_frequency中的数字 b) b) b)
