犹斯丁上面的例子很好。但是主键的需求应该非常清楚地说明。我曾在野外见过没有密钥的代码，结果很糟糕。

我对Percentile_Cont的抱怨是它不会从数据集中给你一个实际的值。 要从数据集中获得一个实际值的“中值”，请使用Percentile_Disc。

SELECT SalesOrderID, OrderQty,
    PERCENTILE_DISC(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

对于像我这样正在学习基础知识的新手来说，我个人觉得这个例子更容易理解，因为它更容易理解到底发生了什么以及中值来自哪里……

select
 ( max(a.[Value1]) + min(a.[Value1]) ) / 2 as [Median Value1]
,( max(a.[Value2]) + min(a.[Value2]) ) / 2 as [Median Value2]

from (select
    datediff(dd,startdate,enddate) as [Value1]
    ,xxxxxxxxxxxxxx as [Value2]
     from dbo.table1
     )a

不过，对上面的一些代码绝对敬畏!!

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)

DECLARE @Obs int
DECLARE @RowAsc table
(
ID      INT IDENTITY,
Observation  FLOAT
)
INSERT INTO @RowAsc
SELECT Observations FROM MyTable
ORDER BY 1 
SELECT @Obs=COUNT(*)/2 FROM @RowAsc
SELECT Observation AS Median FROM @RowAsc WHERE ID=@Obs

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

)

使用一条语句——一种方法是使用ROW_NUMBER()， COUNT()窗口函数并过滤子查询。下面是薪资中位数:

 SELECT AVG(e_salary) 
 FROM                                                             
    (SELECT 
      ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY e_salary) as row_no, 
      e_salary,
      (COUNT(*) OVER()+1)*0.5 AS row_half
     FROM Employee) t
 WHERE row_no IN (FLOOR(row_half),CEILING(row_half))

我在网上看到过类似的解决方案，使用地板和天花板，但尝试使用单一的语句。(编辑)
