I'd like to calculate the median value in a numeric row. How can I do that in SQLite 4?

2) Create a query that calculates the (max(G.i)+min(G.i))/2.0 for each group (call this column 'x'). 3) Using the Pick table, select entries from G where ABS(G.i-Pick. x)<1 . If you take the average from that last table, you'll have your answer for each group.
To get the median we have to use PERCENTILE_CONT(0.5). If you want to define a specific set of rows grouped to get the median, then use the OVER (PARTITION BY) clause. Here I've used PARTITION BY on the column OrderID so as to find the median of unit prices for the order ids.
According to MSDN, Median is not available as an aggregate function in Transact-SQL.
If the total number of observations is an odd number, the formula gives a whole number and the value of this observation is the median. The 4th value in the ordered list is 40, so that is the median. If the total number of observations is an even number, the formula gives a decimal number between two observations.
Let's say that the median is the element in the middle of an ordered list.
SQLite (4 or 3) does not have any built-in function for that, but it's possible to do this by hand:
SELECT x FROM MyTable ORDER BY x LIMIT 1 OFFSET (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM MyTable) / 2 When there is an even number of records, it is common to define the median as the average of the two middle records. In this case, the average can be computed like this:
SELECT AVG(x) FROM (SELECT x FROM MyTable ORDER BY x LIMIT 2 OFFSET (SELECT (COUNT(*) - 1) / 2 FROM MyTable)) Combining the odd and even cases then results in this:
SELECT AVG(x) FROM (SELECT x FROM MyTable ORDER BY x LIMIT 2 - (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM MyTable) % 2 -- odd 1, even 2 OFFSET (SELECT (COUNT(*) - 1) / 2 FROM MyTable)) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
