安装和使用本mysql统计函数:http://www.xarg.org/2012/07/statistical-functions-in-mysql/

之后，计算中值就很简单了:

SELECT median(val) FROM data;

根据魔术贴的答案，对于那些必须根据另一个参数分组的东西做中位数的人来说

SELECT grp_field, t1。val FROM ( SELECT grp_field， @rownum:=IF(@s = grp_field， @rownum + 1,0) AS row_number， @s:=IF(@s = grp_field， @s, grp_field) AS sec, d.val FROM data d， (SELECT @rownum:=0， @s:=0 ORDER BY grp_field, d.val )作为t1 JOIN ( SELECT grp_field, count(*)为total_rows 数据d GROUP BY grp_field )为t2 在t1。Grp_field = t2.grp_field 在t1.row_number =地板(total_rows / 2) + 1;

MySQL文档中这一页的注释有以下建议:

-- (mostly) High Performance scaling MEDIAN function per group
-- Median defined in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median

-- 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
@a := (@a + 1) mod o.c AS shifted_n,
IF(@a mod o.c=0, o.c, @a) AS n,
o.id,
o.val,
-- the number of elements for every id
o.c
FROM (
SELECT
t_o.id,
val,
c
FROM
table_median t_o INNER JOIN
(SELECT
id,
COUNT(1) AS c
FROM
table_median
GROUP BY
id
) t2
ON (t2.id = t_o.id)
ORDER BY
t_o.id,val
) o
) a
WHERE
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 

如果这是MySQL，现在有窗口函数，你可以这样做(假设你想四舍五入到最接近的整数-否则只需将round替换为CEIL或FLOOR或其他什么)。下面的解决方案适用于表，无论表的行数是偶数还是奇数:

WITH CTE AS (
    SELECT val,
            ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY val ASC) AS rn,
            COUNT(*) OVER () AS total_count
    FROM data
)
SELECT ROUND(AVG(val)) AS median
FROM CTE
WHERE
    rn BETWEEN
    total_count / 2.0 AND
    total_count / 2.0 + 1;

I think some of the more recent answers on this thread were already getting at this approach, but it also seemed like people were overthinking it, so consider this an improved version. Regardless of SQL flavor, there is no reason anyone should be writing a huge paragraph of code with multiple subqueries just to get the median in 2021. However, please note that the above query only works if you're asked to find the median for a continuous series. Of course, regardless of row number, sometimes people do make a distinction between what is referred to as the Discrete Median and what is referred to as the Interpolated Median for a continuous series.

如果你被要求为一个离散级数找到中位数，而表的行数是偶数，那么上面的解决方案就不适合你，你应该恢复使用其他解决方案之一，比如TheJacobTaylor的。

下面的第二个解决方案是对TheJacobTaylor的稍微修改的版本，其中我显式地声明了CROSS JOIN。这个方法也适用于行数为奇数的表，不管你是被要求求连续序列的中位数还是离散序列的中位数，但我特别会在被要求求离散序列的中位数时使用这个方法。否则，使用第一种解决方案。这样，您就永远不必考虑数据是包含“偶数”还是“奇数”个数的数据点。

SELECT x.val AS median
FROM data x
CROSS JOIN data y
GROUP BY x.val
HAVING SUM(SIGN(1 - SIGN(y.val - x.val))) = (COUNT(*) + 1) / 2;

最后，你可以在PostgreSQL中使用内置函数轻松做到这一点。这里有一个很好的解释，以及关于离散中位数和插值中位数的有效总结。

https://leafo.net/guides/postgresql-calculating-percentile.html#calculating-the-median

我的代码，高效，没有表或额外的变量:

SELECT
((SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(group_concat(val order by val), ',', floor(1+((count(val)-1) / 2))), ',', -1))
+
(SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(group_concat(val order by val), ',', ceiling(1+((count(val)-1) / 2))), ',', -1)))/2
as median
FROM table;

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。
