Kevin,
I don't have the answer. And my Celko book has variations on doing this.
But, the first thought off the top of my head was that we might be able to
make this real easy via some of the analytical functions that first came to
be in 8.1.6. Anyway, I struggled with it a bit and decided to do a search.
An advanced search at www.deja.com turned up a few ideas. Specifying
comp.databases.oracle.* and searching on things like "SQL median", "analytic
median", and simply "median" turned up some ideas. Note that some of the
better ideas don't show up on the "exact" hit you get -- you will need to
expand the thread and take a look.
Maybe someone else will reply with a great example.
Regards,
Larry G. Elkins
