In the last few days I remember seeing one of the developers say that there was some code that was accidentally omitted. There are two functions one for samples and one for population stddev, but I can not remember right off what the endings of the functions are.

Hi, I’m trying to find an aggregate function to find standard deviation. Does monetDB support such a function?

For example:- to find the average of the selected values we can use- Select AVG(age) from students where grade = 4;

I was taking the help of google and found this link- http://old.nabble.com/users-list-Digest,-Vol-3,-Issue-8-td34660082.html Then I tried the solution given by Percy Wegmann in the above link. After that when I run this query- Select STDEV(age) from students where grade = 4; [Age being a column of type double AND I get similar kind of error for int] I get this error – TypeException:user.s1_1[21]:'aggr.stddev' undefined in: _33:any := aggr.stddev(_ 32:bat[:oid,:dbl]) program contains errors

I need to have this function working in order to be able to use MonetDB. Kindly help.

Dear Anshuman, we fully understand you comment. However, our resources are unfortunately often too limited to keep our documentation up-to-date with the development of our system and its growing functionality. Please bear with us. Best, Stefan ----- Original Message -----

Thanks for the prompt reply Bandon and Stefan. I was digging through the documentation for monetDB, but was unable to locate any topic which covers all the supported mathematical functions. Would make life of the users much more easier!

Thanks a lot, Anshuman
