My sql query to get middle row values using GROUP BY function

My database structure is like

Id     Price     Code

2      0.13      93
3      0.54      93
4      0.96      93
5      0.10      94
6      0.30      94
7      0.90      94
8      1.40      94

The above is the output that i want with the middle row or the row having maximum price value in case of two middle rows like in case of row count 4,6,8

Answer 1

It can be done by some tricks.

SELECT id, 
       price, 
       code 
FROM   table1 
WHERE  id IN (SELECT Ceil(Avg(id)) AS `id` 
              FROM   table1 
              GROUP  BY code);

Answer 2

SELECT table1.* 
FROM table1
JOIN (
    SELECT SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX( GROUP_CONCAT(id ORDER BY id ASC), ',', CEIL(COUNT(*) / 2) ), ',', -1) AS id
    FROM table1
    GROUP BY CODE
) t USING(id)
