根据MSDN, Median在Transact-SQL中不能作为聚合函数使用。但是,我想知道是否可以创建此功能(使用create Aggregate函数、用户定义函数或其他方法)。

最好的方法(如果可能的话)是什么——允许在聚合查询中计算中值(假设是数值数据类型)?

我只是在寻找一个基于集的中位数的解决方案时偶然发现了这一页。在研究了一些解决方案之后,我想到了以下几点。希望是有用的。

DECLARE @test TABLE(
    i int identity(1,1),
    id int,
    score float
)

INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (1,10)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (1,11)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (1,15)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (1,19)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (1,20)

INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (2,20)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (2,21)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (2,25)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (2,29)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (2,30)

INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (3,20)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (3,21)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (3,25)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (3,29)

DECLARE @counts TABLE(
    id int,
    cnt int
)

INSERT INTO @counts (
    id,
    cnt
)
SELECT
    id,
    COUNT(*)
FROM
    @test
GROUP BY
    id

SELECT
    drv.id,
    drv.start,
    AVG(t.score)
FROM
    (
        SELECT
            MIN(t.i)-1 AS start,
            t.id
        FROM
            @test t
        GROUP BY
            t.id
    ) drv
    INNER JOIN @test t ON drv.id = t.id
    INNER JOIN @counts c ON t.id = c.id
WHERE
    t.i = ((c.cnt+1)/2)+drv.start
    OR (
        t.i = (((c.cnt+1)%2) * ((c.cnt+2)/2))+drv.start
        AND ((c.cnt+1)%2) * ((c.cnt+2)/2) <> 0
    )
GROUP BY
    drv.id,
    drv.start

MS SQL Server 2012(及以后版本)有PERCENTILE_DISC函数,计算排序值的特定百分比。PERCENTILE_DISC(0.5)将计算中位数- https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh231327.aspx

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

我想自己想出一个解决办法,但我的大脑绊倒了。我觉得很管用,但别让我早上解释。: P

DECLARE @table AS TABLE
(
    Number int not null
);

insert into @table select 2;
insert into @table select 4;
insert into @table select 9;
insert into @table select 15;
insert into @table select 22;
insert into @table select 26;
insert into @table select 37;
insert into @table select 49;

DECLARE @Count AS INT
SELECT @Count = COUNT(*) FROM @table;

WITH MyResults(RowNo, Number) AS
(
    SELECT RowNo, Number FROM
        (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Number) AS RowNo, Number FROM @table) AS Foo
)
SELECT AVG(Number) FROM MyResults WHERE RowNo = (@Count+1)/2 OR RowNo = ((@Count+1)%2) * ((@Count+2)/2)

如果你想在SQL Server中使用创建聚合函数,这是如何做到的。这样做的好处是能够编写干净的查询。注意,这个过程可以很容易地计算一个百分位值。

创建一个新的Visual Studio项目,并将目标框架设置为。net 3.5(这是针对SQL 2008的,在SQL 2012中可能有所不同)。然后创建一个类文件,并放入以下代码或c#等效代码:

Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Server
Imports System.Data.SqlTypes
Imports System.IO

<Serializable>
<SqlUserDefinedAggregate(Format.UserDefined, IsInvariantToNulls:=True, IsInvariantToDuplicates:=False, _
  IsInvariantToOrder:=True, MaxByteSize:=-1, IsNullIfEmpty:=True)>
Public Class Median
  Implements IBinarySerialize
  Private _items As List(Of Decimal)

  Public Sub Init()
    _items = New List(Of Decimal)()
  End Sub

  Public Sub Accumulate(value As SqlDecimal)
    If Not value.IsNull Then
      _items.Add(value.Value)
    End If
  End Sub

  Public Sub Merge(other As Median)
    If other._items IsNot Nothing Then
      _items.AddRange(other._items)
    End If
  End Sub

  Public Function Terminate() As SqlDecimal
    If _items.Count <> 0 Then
      Dim result As Decimal
      _items = _items.OrderBy(Function(i) i).ToList()
      If _items.Count Mod 2 = 0 Then
        result = ((_items((_items.Count / 2) - 1)) + (_items(_items.Count / 2))) / 2@
      Else
        result = _items((_items.Count - 1) / 2)
      End If

      Return New SqlDecimal(result)
    Else
      Return New SqlDecimal()
    End If
  End Function

  Public Sub Read(r As BinaryReader) Implements IBinarySerialize.Read
    'deserialize it from a string
    Dim list = r.ReadString()
    _items = New List(Of Decimal)

    For Each value In list.Split(","c)
      Dim number As Decimal
      If Decimal.TryParse(value, number) Then
        _items.Add(number)
      End If
    Next

  End Sub

  Public Sub Write(w As BinaryWriter) Implements IBinarySerialize.Write
    'serialize the list to a string
    Dim list = ""

    For Each item In _items
      If list <> "" Then
        list += ","
      End If      
      list += item.ToString()
    Next
    w.Write(list)
  End Sub
End Class

然后编译它,并将DLL和PDB文件复制到您的SQL Server机器,在SQL Server中运行以下命令:

CREATE ASSEMBLY CustomAggregate FROM '{path to your DLL}'
WITH PERMISSION_SET=SAFE;
GO

CREATE AGGREGATE Median(@value decimal(9, 3))
RETURNS decimal(9, 3) 
EXTERNAL NAME [CustomAggregate].[{namespace of your DLL}.Median];
GO

然后你可以写一个查询来计算中位数,就像这样: SELECT dbo.Median(Field) FROM Table
