Hello out there,

an ignorant's question: can I/how can I create an aggregate that
performs this operation on a group of timestamp values:

    select some_column,
           min(timest)+(max(timest)-min(timest))/2 
    from mytable
    group by some_column;

that is, an aggregate which calculates the point half way between the
minimum and the maximum of the time series? I would like to use it
like this (substitute something appropriate for "median", I don't have
an idea how to call it):

    select some_column, median(timest)
    from mytable
    group by some_column;

Any suggestions appreciated!
Regards,
Ulf
