Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

The PERCENTILE_CONT() aggregate function is an ordered set function that calculates a given continuous percentile of all input values. A special kind of percentile is the MEDIAN, corresponding to the 50% percentile.

SELECT
  percentile_cont(0.00) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY ID),
  percentile_cont(0.25) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY ID),
  percentile_cont(0.50) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY ID),
  percentile_cont(0.75) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY ID),
  percentile_cont(1.00) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY ID)
FROM BOOK
create.select(
         percentileCont(0.00).withinGroupOrderBy(BOOK.ID),
         percentileCont(0.25).withinGroupOrderBy(BOOK.ID),
         percentileCont(0.50).withinGroupOrderBy(BOOK.ID),
         percentileCont(0.75).withinGroupOrderBy(BOOK.ID),
         percentileCont(1.00).withinGroupOrderBy(BOOK.ID))
      .from(BOOK)
