上面的方法似乎对我有用。

MySQL从8.0版本开始支持窗口函数，您可以使用ROW_NUMBER或DENSE_RANK(不要使用RANK，因为它将相同的RANK分配给相同的值，就像在体育排名):

SELECT AVG(t1.val) AS median_val
  FROM (SELECT val, 
               ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY val) AS rownum
          FROM data) t1,
       (SELECT COUNT(*) AS num_records FROM data) t2
 WHERE t1.row_num IN
       (FLOOR((t2.num_records + 1) / 2), 
        FLOOR((t2.num_records + 2) / 2));

另一个对Velcrow答案的重复，但使用了一个中间表，并利用了用于行编号的变量来获得计数，而不是执行额外的查询来计算它。还开始计数，以便第一行是第0行，以便简单地使用Floor和Ceil选择中位数行。

SELECT Avg(tmp.val) as median_val
    FROM (SELECT inTab.val, @rows := @rows + 1 as rowNum
              FROM data as inTab,  (SELECT @rows := -1) as init
              -- Replace with better where clause or delete
              WHERE 2 > 1
              ORDER BY inTab.val) as tmp
    WHERE tmp.rowNum in (Floor(@rows / 2), Ceil(@rows / 2));

我有一个包含大约10亿行的数据库，我们需要它来确定集合中的年龄中位数。对十亿行进行排序是困难的，但如果你将可以找到的不同值(年龄范围从0到100)聚合在一起，你可以对这个列表进行排序，并使用一些算术魔术来找到你想要的任何百分位数，如下所示:

with rawData(count_value) as
(
    select p.YEAR_OF_BIRTH
        from dbo.PERSON p
),
overallStats (avg_value, stdev_value, min_value, max_value, total) as
(
  select avg(1.0 * count_value) as avg_value,
    stdev(count_value) as stdev_value,
    min(count_value) as min_value,
    max(count_value) as max_value,
    count(*) as total
  from rawData
),
aggData (count_value, total, accumulated) as
(
  select count_value, 
    count(*) as total, 
        SUM(count(*)) OVER (ORDER BY count_value ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING) as accumulated
  FROM rawData
  group by count_value
)
select o.total as count_value,
  o.min_value,
    o.max_value,
    o.avg_value,
    o.stdev_value,
    MIN(case when d.accumulated >= .50 * o.total then count_value else o.max_value end) as median_value,
    MIN(case when d.accumulated >= .10 * o.total then count_value else o.max_value end) as p10_value,
    MIN(case when d.accumulated >= .25 * o.total then count_value else o.max_value end) as p25_value,
    MIN(case when d.accumulated >= .75 * o.total then count_value else o.max_value end) as p75_value,
    MIN(case when d.accumulated >= .90 * o.total then count_value else o.max_value end) as p90_value
from aggData d
cross apply overallStats o
GROUP BY o.total, o.min_value, o.max_value, o.avg_value, o.stdev_value
;

这个查询取决于你的db支持窗口函数(包括ROWS UNBOUNDED precede)，但如果你没有，这是一个简单的事情，将aggData CTE与自身连接，并将所有先前的总数聚合到' cumulative '列，用于确定哪个值包含指定的预分词。上面的示例计算p10、p25、p50(中位数)、p75和p90。

屁股的

create table med(id integer);
insert into med(id) values(1);
insert into med(id) values(2);
insert into med(id) values(3);
insert into med(id) values(4);
insert into med(id) values(5);
insert into med(id) values(6);

select (MIN(count)+MAX(count))/2 from 
(select case when (select count(*) from 
med A where A.id<B.id)=(select count(*)/2 from med) OR 
(select count(*) from med A where A.id>B.id)=(select count(*)/2 
from med) then cast(B.id as float)end as count from med B) C;

 ?column? 
----------
  3.5
(1 row)

OR

select cast(avg(id) as float) from 
(select t1.id from med t1 JOIN med t2 on t1.id!= t2.id 
group by t1.id having ABS(SUM(SIGN(t1.id-t2.id)))=1) A;

我使用下表的解决方案在MySQL:

CREATE TABLE transactions (
  transaction_id int , user_id int , merchant_name varchar(255), transaction_date date , amount int
);

INSERT INTO transactions (transaction_id, user_id, merchant_name, transaction_date, amount)  
VALUES (1, 1 ,'abc', '2015-08-17', 100),(2, 2, 'ced', '2015-2-17', 100),(3, 1, 'def', '2015-2-16', 121),
(4, 1 ,'ced', '2015-3-17', 110),(5, 1, 'ced', '2015-3-17', 150),(6, 2 ,'abc', '2015-4-17', 130), 
(7, 3 ,'ced', '2015-12-17', 10),(8, 3 ,'abc', '2015-8-17', 100),(9, 2 ,'abc', '2015-12-17', 140),(10, 1,'abc', '2015-9-17', 100),
(11, 1 ,'abc', '2015-08-17', 121),(12, 2 ,'ced', '2015-12-23', 130),(13, 1 ,'def', '2015-12-23', 13),(3, 4, 'abc', '2015-2-16', 120),(3, 4, 'def', '2015-2-16', 121),(3, 4, 'ced', '2015-2-16', 121);

计算“金额”列的中位数:

WITH Numbered AS 
(
SELECT *, COUNT(*) OVER () AS TotatRecords,
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY amount) AS RowNum
FROM transactions
)
SELECT Avg(amount)
FROM Numbered
WHERE RowNum IN ( FLOOR((TotatRecords+1)/2), FLOOR((TotatRecords+2)/2) )
;

TotalRecords = 16 and Median = 120.5000

此查询将适用于两种情况，即偶数和奇数记录。
