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)?


当前回答

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

在UDF中,写:

 Select Top 1 medianSortColumn from Table T
  Where (Select Count(*) from Table
         Where MedianSortColumn <
           (Select Count(*) From Table) / 2)
  Order By medianSortColumn

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。

查看SQL中位数计算的其他解决方案: “用MySQL计算中位数的简单方法”(解决方案大多与供应商无关)。

我最初的回答是:

select  max(my_column) as [my_column], quartile
from    (select my_column, ntile(4) over (order by my_column) as [quartile]
         from   my_table) i
--where quartile = 2
group by quartile

这将使您一举获得中位数和四分位范围。如果你真的只想要一行作为中值,那么取消注释where子句。

当你把它放入解释计划时,60%的工作是对数据进行排序,这在计算像这样的位置依赖统计数据时是不可避免的。

我修改了答案,以遵循Robert Ševčík-Robajz在下面的评论中提出的优秀建议:

;with PartitionedData as
  (select my_column, ntile(10) over (order by my_column) as [percentile]
   from   my_table),
MinimaAndMaxima as
  (select  min(my_column) as [low], max(my_column) as [high], percentile
   from    PartitionedData
   group by percentile)
select
  case
    when b.percentile = 10 then cast(b.high as decimal(18,2))
    else cast((a.low + b.high)  as decimal(18,2)) / 2
  end as [value], --b.high, a.low,
  b.percentile
from    MinimaAndMaxima a
  join  MinimaAndMaxima b on (a.percentile -1 = b.percentile) or (a.percentile = 10 and b.percentile = 10)
--where b.percentile = 5

当您有偶数个数据项时,这应该计算正确的中位数和百分比值。同样,如果您只想要中位数而不是整个百分位数分布,请取消最后的where子句的注释。

在SQL Server 2012中,您应该使用PERCENTILE_CONT:

SELECT SalesOrderID, OrderQty,
    PERCENTILE_CONT(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
