Question

PERCENTILE_DISC和PERCENTILE_CONT之间有什么区别，

我有一个表### select * from childstat

FIRSTNAME                                          GENDER BIRTHDATE     HEIGHT     WEIGHT
-------------------------------------------------- ------ --------- ---------- ----------

我正在尝试区分那些百分位数

select firstname,height,
       percentile_cont(.50) within group (order by height) over() as pctcont_50_ht,
       percentile_cont(.72) within group (order by height) over() as pctcont_72_ht,
       percentile_disc(.50) within group (order by height) over () as pctdisc_50_ht,
       percentile_disc(.72) within group (order by height) over () as pctdisc_72_ht
from childstat order by height


FIRSTNAME                                              HEIGHT PCTCONT_50_HT PCTCONT_72_HT PCTDISC_50_HT PCTDISC_72_HT
-------------------------------------------------- ---------- ------------- ------------- ------------- -------------

rosemary                                                   35            54         76.64            54            78

simon                                                      87            54         76.64            54            78

但仍然无法理解这两个如何使用这两个函数。

Answer 1

PERCENTILE_DISC会在您的设置/窗口中返回一个值，而PERCENTILE_CONT会进行插值;

在您的查询中，当您使用.72时，PERCENTILE_CONT会在76到78之间进行插值，因为72％不是其中之一; PERCENTILE_DISC选择76（最低的）

我发现这种解释非常有帮助 http://mfzahirdba.blogspot.com/2012/09/difference-between-percentilecont-and.html
