New aggregate functionsquantilesExactInclusiveandquantilesExactExclusivewhich were proposed in #5885. #6477 (dimarub2000)
Why it matters
These functions address the need for precise quantile calculation methods in ClickHouse, providing users with exact quantile results rather than approximations. This improves accuracy in statistical analysis and data summarization tasks.How to use it
Use the new aggregate functions in your SQL queries as follows:SELECT quantilesExactInclusive(0.25, 0.5, 0.75)(column_name) FROM table_name;
SELECT quantilesExactExclusive(0.25, 0.5, 0.75)(column_name) FROM table_name;Replace
column_name and table_name with your actual column and table names. Specify the desired quantile probabilities as arguments.
