It appears that the problem is in sql/scripts/39_analytics.sql.  It's missing bindings for stdev and stdevp.

For stdev, at least, it seems that one can mimic median with something like the following:

create aggregate stdev(val TINYINT) returns TINYINT
        external name "aggr"."stddev";
create aggregate stdev(val SMALLINT) returns SMALLINT
        external name "aggr"."stddev";
create aggregate stdev(val INTEGER) returns INTEGER
        external name "aggr"."stddev";
create aggregate stdev(val BIGINT) returns BIGINT
        external name "aggr"."stddev";
create aggregate stdev(val REAL) returns REAL
        external name "aggr"."stddev";
create aggregate stdev(val DOUBLE) returns DOUBLE
        external name "aggr"."stddev";
create aggregate stdev(val DATE) returns DATE
        external name "aggr"."stddev";
create aggregate stdev(val TIME) returns TIME
        external name "aggr"."stddev";
create aggregate stdev(val TIMESTAMP) returns TIMESTAMP
        external name "aggr"."stddev";

This can of course be run through the mclient, so anyone needing to patch their environment prior to this bug being fixed might be able to just run these manually.

I've included this info in the bug.

Cheers,
Percy

http://bugs.monetdb.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2454#c18 suggests stddev and
median have been added (niels), so if they aren't there, file a new bug,
or reopen the old one.
