我发现这个答案非常有用——https://www.eversql.com/how-to-calculate-median-value-in-mysql-using-a-simple-sql-query/

SET @rowindex := -1;

SELECT
   AVG(g.grade)
FROM
   (SELECT @rowindex:=@rowindex + 1 AS rowindex,
       grades.grade AS grade
    FROM grades
    ORDER BY grades.grade) AS g
WHERE
g.rowindex IN (FLOOR(@rowindex / 2) , CEIL(@rowindex / 2));

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。

一个简单的方法来计算中位数在MySQL

set @ct := (select count(1) from station);
set @row := 0;

select avg(a.val) as median from 
(select * from  table order by val) a
where (select @row := @row + 1)
between @ct/2.0 and @ct/2.0 +1;

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

MySQL文档中这一页的注释有以下建议:

-- (mostly) High Performance scaling MEDIAN function per group

-- Example Table:

DROP table if exists table_median;
CREATE TABLE table_median (id INTEGER(11),val INTEGER(11));
COMMIT;


INSERT INTO table_median (id, val) VALUES
(1, 7), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 1), (1, 8), (1, 3), (1, 6),
(2, 4),
(3, 5), (3, 2),
(4, 5), (4, 12), (4, 1), (4, 7);



-- Calculating the MEDIAN
SELECT @a := 0;
SELECT
id,
AVG(val) AS MEDIAN
FROM (
SELECT
id,
val
FROM (
SELECT
-- Create an index n for every id

IF(
-- if there is an even number of elements
-- take the lower and the upper median
-- and use AVG(lower,upper)
c MOD 2 = 0,
n = c DIV 2 OR n = (c DIV 2)+1,

-- if its an odd number of elements
-- take the first if its only one element
-- or take the one in the middle
IF(
c = 1,
n = 1,
n = c DIV 2 + 1
)
)
) a
GROUP BY
id;

-- Explanation:
-- The Statement creates a helper table like

-- n id val count
-- ----------------
-- 1, 1, 1, 7
-- 2, 1, 3, 7
-- 3, 1, 4, 7
-- 4, 1, 5, 7
-- 5, 1, 6, 7
-- 6, 1, 7, 7
-- 7, 1, 8, 7
--
-- 1, 2, 4, 1

-- 1, 3, 2, 2
-- 2, 3, 5, 2
--
-- 1, 4, 1, 4
-- 2, 4, 5, 4
-- 3, 4, 7, 4
-- 4, 4, 12, 4


-- from there we can select the n-th element on the position: count div 2 + 1 

试着这样做:

SELECT  
CAST (AVG(val) AS DECIMAL(10,4))
FROM
(
    SELECT 
    val,
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER( ORDER BY val ) -1 AS rn,
    COUNT(1) OVER () -1 AS cnt
    FROM STATION
) as tmp
WHERE rn IN (FLOOR(cnt/2),CEILING (cnt/2))

注意:-1的原因是使它的索引为0 .i。E行号 现在从0开始，而不是1
