犹斯丁上面的例子很好。但是主键的需求应该非常清楚地说明。我曾在野外见过没有密钥的代码，结果很糟糕。

我对Percentile_Cont的抱怨是它不会从数据集中给你一个实际的值。 要从数据集中获得一个实际值的“中值”，请使用Percentile_Disc。

SELECT SalesOrderID, OrderQty,
    PERCENTILE_DISC(0.5) 
        WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY OrderQty)
        OVER (PARTITION BY SalesOrderID) AS MedianCont
FROM Sales.SalesOrderDetail
WHERE SalesOrderID IN (43670, 43669, 43667, 43663)
ORDER BY SalesOrderID DESC

关于你的问题，杰夫·阿特伍德已经给出了简单有效的解决方案。但是，如果您正在寻找一些计算中位数的替代方法，下面的SQL代码将帮助您。

create table employees(salary int); insert into employees values(8); insert into employees values(23); insert into employees values(45); insert into employees values(123); insert into employees values(93); insert into employees values(2342); insert into employees values(2238); select * from employees; declare @odd_even int; declare @cnt int; declare @middle_no int; set @cnt=(select count(*) from employees); set @middle_no=(@cnt/2)+1; select @odd_even=case when (@cnt%2=0) THEN -1 ELse 0 END ; select AVG(tbl.salary) from (select salary,ROW_NUMBER() over (order by salary) as rno from employees group by salary) tbl where tbl.rno=@middle_no or tbl.rno=@middle_no+@odd_even;

如果你想在MySQL中计算中位数，这个github链接会很有用。

如果你使用的是SQL 2005或更好的版本，这是一个很好的，简单的中位数计算表中的单列:

SELECT
(
 (SELECT MAX(Score) FROM
   (SELECT TOP 50 PERCENT Score FROM Posts ORDER BY Score) AS BottomHalf)
 +
 (SELECT MIN(Score) FROM
   (SELECT TOP 50 PERCENT Score FROM Posts ORDER BY Score DESC) AS TopHalf)
) / 2 AS Median

with t1 as (select *, row_number() over(order by ordqty) as rn,
count(*) over() as rc from ord_line)
select rn,* from t1 where rn in((rc+1)/2, (rc+2)/2);

它将计算偶数和奇数的中位数。

Ord_line是一个表 Ordqty是一个列

下面的查询从一列中的值列表返回中位数。它不能作为聚合函数使用，也不能与聚合函数一起使用，但仍然可以在内部select中使用带有WHERE子句的子查询。

SQL Server 2005+:

SELECT TOP 1 value from
(
    SELECT TOP 50 PERCENT value 
    FROM table_name 
    ORDER BY  value
)for_median
ORDER BY value DESC

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
