   Hi again @alamb 
   I couldn't find a built-in `median` function in PostgreSQL (I am definitely 
not a Postgres expert), but I did find the two official options:
   
   - `percentile_cont(0.5) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY x)` — continuous median with 
interpolation
   - `percentile_disc(0.5) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY x)` — discrete median
   
   So it seems that PostgreSQL does not define a standalone `median()` 
function, and relies on these two percentile variants instead.

 />
   
   Let's close this issue for now. I’ll open a PR once the implementation is 
integrated on the Sail side, based on the ongoing work in the current PR.
   
   Thanks a lot for the guidance!
