Author  Topic  MeekuZA Starting Member 1 Post Posted - 2012-02-20 : 08:48:48 Hi, I've used the SOUNDEX function many times, but it appears to be quite limited especially here where we use more than one language quite often. I found this [url]http://www.dbshell.net[/url] which can deploy CLR versions of Double Metaphone and Levenshtein which seems quite good. I was curious what other approaches or algorithms others had used for this purpose?
