Fraid group by will not work either .... it removes the duplicate rows and
changes the median.

You can replace the order by BY group by.
Group by does an implicit sort.

Waleed;
Well, I am afraid, its not going to be this simple on my version of
Oracle, 8.0.5. Apparently, you can not do an order by in the from
statement on this version so I can not get the crucial order of the data.
Thanks anyway. I may have to resort to an pl/sql function.

What about this:
SQL> create table median ( c1 number );
Table created.
SQL> insert into median values (1);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into median values (1);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into median values (3);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into median values (5);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into median values (5);
1 row created.
SQL> select avg(c1)
2 from (select count(*) m_count from median) A,
3 (select c1, rownum b_rownum from (select c1 from median order by
c1)) B
4 where b_rownum between (m_count / 2) and (m_count / 2) +1;
AVG(C1)
---------
3

Does anyone have a handy function for calculating the Median of data ?? It
seems like it should be simple ...but

This used to work on other platforms and versions, but my HP-UX 64 bit
binary
doesn't have any interesting strings any more:
strings $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle | perl -ne 'print if /^_[a-z]+_[a-z]/' |
sort | uniq
The typical location for underscore parameters is x$ksppi:
(as SYS:)
select KSPPINM, KSPPDESC from x$ksppi where substr(KSPPINM,1) = '_';
The event codes (most of them) are documented in
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/mesg/oraus.msg, after error number 10000.
