-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Note that the quantile *does* work if you specify the extremes as 0.0 and 1.0. And I seriously doubt (looking at the MAL plan) that implementing quantile 0 with min and quantile 1 with max will solve the problem when you specify the extremes as 0 or 1 (it may improve speed, and therefore it is still not a bad idea, but that is another issue).

Guess the shirt answer is: no-one thought of / implemented it so far. We'll see what we can do when.

hi team, any chance you could give this a look before the next release candidate? i'm confused why QUANTILEs of 0 and 1 don't go straight to MIN and MAX.. thanks!

hi monetdb team, i am getting errors below on data i can't share. before i spend a bunch of time trying to create a reproducible example for this:

i've confirmed that MIN and MAX both do work on this column, and also that QUANTILE works with 0.01 thru 0.99 on this column. is there a reason QUANTILEs of 0 and 1 don't simply call MIN and MAX? thanks!
