对于连续变量/测量'table1'中的'col1'

select col1  
from
    (select top 50 percent col1, 
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY col1 ASC) AS Rowa,
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY col1 DESC) AS Rowd
    from table1 ) tmp
where tmp.Rowa = tmp.Rowd

这适用于SQL 2000:

DECLARE @testTable TABLE 
( 
    VALUE   INT
)
--INSERT INTO @testTable -- Even Test
--SELECT 3 UNION ALL
--SELECT 5 UNION ALL
--SELECT 7 UNION ALL
--SELECT 12 UNION ALL
--SELECT 13 UNION ALL
--SELECT 14 UNION ALL
--SELECT 21 UNION ALL
--SELECT 23 UNION ALL
--SELECT 23 UNION ALL
--SELECT 23 UNION ALL
--SELECT 23 UNION ALL
--SELECT 29 UNION ALL
--SELECT 40 UNION ALL
--SELECT 56

--
--INSERT INTO @testTable -- Odd Test
--SELECT 3 UNION ALL
--SELECT 5 UNION ALL
--SELECT 7 UNION ALL
--SELECT 12 UNION ALL
--SELECT 13 UNION ALL
--SELECT 14 UNION ALL
--SELECT 21 UNION ALL
--SELECT 23 UNION ALL
--SELECT 23 UNION ALL
--SELECT 23 UNION ALL
--SELECT 23 UNION ALL
--SELECT 29 UNION ALL
--SELECT 39 UNION ALL
--SELECT 40 UNION ALL
--SELECT 56


DECLARE @RowAsc TABLE
(
    ID      INT IDENTITY,
    Amount  INT
)

INSERT INTO @RowAsc
SELECT  VALUE 
FROM    @testTable 
ORDER BY VALUE ASC

SELECT  AVG(amount)
FROM @RowAsc ra
WHERE ra.id IN
(
    SELECT  ID 
    FROM    @RowAsc
    WHERE   ra.id -
    (
        SELECT  MAX(id) / 2.0 
        FROM    @RowAsc
    ) BETWEEN 0 AND 1

)

在Jeff Atwood的答案的基础上，它是用GROUP BY和一个相关的子查询来获得每个组的中位数。

SELECT TestID, 
(
 (SELECT MAX(Score) FROM
   (SELECT TOP 50 PERCENT Score FROM Posts WHERE TestID = Posts_parent.TestID ORDER BY Score) AS BottomHalf)
 +
 (SELECT MIN(Score) FROM
   (SELECT TOP 50 PERCENT Score FROM Posts WHERE TestID = Posts_parent.TestID ORDER BY Score DESC) AS TopHalf)
) / 2 AS MedianScore,
AVG(Score) AS AvgScore, MIN(Score) AS MinScore, MAX(Score) AS MaxScore
FROM Posts_parent
GROUP BY Posts_parent.TestID

对于大规模数据集，您可以尝试以下GIST:

https://gist.github.com/chrisknoll/1b38761ce8c5016ec5b2

它通过聚合您在集合中找到的不同值(例如年龄或出生年份等)来工作，并使用SQL窗口函数来定位您在查询中指定的任何百分比位置。

这是查找属性中值的最简单方法。

Select round(S.salary,4) median from employee S 
where (select count(salary) from station 
where salary < S.salary ) = (select count(salary) from station
where salary > S.salary)
