获得每所学校前10名学生的平均成绩

我们有一所拥有38所小学的学区。孩子们参加了考试。学校的平均分布广泛,但我想比较每所学校的10名学生的平均分数。

要求:仅使用临时表。

我是以一种非常耗费工作量,容易出错的方式完成此操作,如下所述 (sch_code =例如,9043;   - schabbrev =例如,“Carter”;   - totpct_stu =例如,61.3)

DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS avg_top10 ;
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE avg_top10
   ( sch_code   VARCHAR(4),
     schabbrev  VARCHAR(75),
     totpct_stu DECIMAL(5,1)
   );

INSERT 
  INTO avg_top10
SELECT sch_code
     , schabbrev
     , totpct_stu
  FROM test_table
 WHERE sch_code IN ('5489')
 ORDER
    BY totpct_stu DESC
 LIMIT 10;

-- I do that last query for EVERY school, so the total 
-- length of the code is well in excess of 300 lines.  
-- Then, finally...

SELECT schabbrev, ROUND( AVG( totpct_stu ), 1 ) AS top10
  FROM avg_top10
 GROUP
    BY schabbrev
 ORDER
    BY top10 ;

-- OUTPUT:
-----------------------------------
schabbrev   avg_top10
----------  ---------
Goulding         75.4
Garth            77.7
Sperhead         81.4
Oak_P            83.7
Spring           84.9
-- etc...

问题:这样可行,但有没有更好的方法呢?

谢谢!

PS - 看起来像家庭作业,但这是......真的。

使用this technique

select sch_code,
       schabbrev,
       ROUND( AVG( totpct_stu ), 1 ) AS top10
from   (select sch_code,
               schabbrev,
               totpct_stu,
               @num := if(@group = sch_code, @num + 1, 1) as row_number,
               @group := sch_code as dummy
        from   test_table
        order by sch_code, totpct_stu desc) as x
where  row_number <= 10
GROUP BY sch_code,
       schabbrev
