APPROX_PERCENTILE_DISC

Supported by ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

The APPROX_PERCENTILE_DISC() approximative aggregate function is an ordered set function that calculates a given discrete percentile of all input values using a faster, approximative algorithm than the exact PERCENTILE_DISC version. If a RDBMS supports the exact version, but not the approximative one, the exact version is used.

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

Producing:

+------+------+------+------+------+
| 0.00 | 0.25 | 0.50 | 0.75 | 1.00 |
+------+------+------+------+------+
|    1 |    1 |    2 |    3 |    4 |
+------+------+------+------+------+
