In order to solve inconsistent typing by either people who capture
data or people using search functions I intend to use something like
this in SQL (Postgresql):

select titel from joernaal
where
regexp_replace(lower(titel), '[ -,.:]', '', 'g') =
regexp_replace(lower('SAMj -South     african Medical Journal'), '[
,.:]', '', 'g')

The last line can be handled by python using the input from a form.  I
want Postgresql to handle the second last line.

I suspect this type of query is not possible using DAL (or is it?) and
that I will have to use executesql for that?

Regards
Johann
