Find the breaks for N categories in a numerical column based on the [Quantile bins]. Below, the quantile method is used to determine color based on the area of the polygons. ![qunatile](https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/370259/140714/932ed0e6-722b-11e2-9807-ffbd0fddb9ac.png) #### Using the function We can determine the 7 most optimal breaks in a column of numerical data as follows, ```sql SELECT CDB_QuantileBins(array_agg(numeric_column), 7) FROM table_name -- Results in an ordered array like, {80,2281,7162,17652,39730,91077,1638094} -- Each break happens up to, and equal, to a number: -- (bin1 is less than or equal to 80, bin2 is less than or equal to 2281, etc.) ``` #### Arguments CDB_QuantileBins(in_array, breaks) * **in_array** numeric[]. A NUMERIC array of values. * **breaks** int. The number of categories you want to create
