Hi Shawn, I printed the manual, but as I am not such a database guru I was not able to transfer this knowlegde into an select-statement. Thanks for your realtimehelp.
Is it possible to do an select-query with soundex like the following examble? select nn from table where nn !='' my database has the field name (nn), I need to select every namefield, which is not empty. So soundex should give me an result with a list of names. How to do?
