Hi,

I have a nice little code snippet in pseudocode, which calculates the levenshtein-distance between 2 words.

Is it possible to implement that code in mysql like in

"select word1,word2 from myTable order by dist(word1,word2 )"

where dist is the function mentionend above which takes 2 strings and returns an int?

Weird question??? :)

Thanks

Horst
