That's clever, and relatively simple given that there exists no Median() aggregate function. But how is it that no Median() function exists!? I'm a bit FLOOR()ed, frankly.

... I mean like in this case (the 2nd query named "Users with highest median answer score").

Is this correct for odd number of results? Like for 9 elements median is the fifth one.

If "Score" field is nullable, the median won't compute. You can specify in query: 'SELECT ( (SELECT MAX(Score) FROM (SELECT TOP 50 PERCENT Score FROM Posts Where Score is not null ORDER BY Score) AS BottomHalf) + (SELECT MIN(Score) FROM (SELECT TOP 50 PERCENT Score FROM Posts Where Score is not null ORDER BY Score DESC) AS TopHalf) ) / 2 AS Median'
