In my SQL course I am asked relatively often about how to do things that cannot be done with MySQL easily:
- calculate the median(s) or quartiles of a sample
- create contingency tables or pivot tables from a table
I take it for granted that declarative SQL is not welladapted to do such things.
Is there such a thing as the famous software package that everyone uses to do statistical evaluations involving quantils and contingency tables based on MySQL as a database?
Can we say that such evaluations are a part of OLAP and that MySQL is intended to be used more for OLTP? Received on Sun Nov 22 2015 - 15:01:47 CET
