Hey - - -
Working on d-f'ing up the information in a poorly-designed database.
Using SOUNDEX() for "close" comparisons. One it missed:
Highway Federal Credit Union = H200 F364 C633 U550
Hiway Federal Credit Union = H000 F364 C633 U550
I woulda thunk.... but then again, it ignores vowels... any soundex()
replacement out there????
You could also have a go at using Bob Calco's Levenshtein class for
matching strings. Not had a go of using it yet but will do next time I
have to do some de-duping.
