Good morning fellow plugger.. OT question related to database. In ASE, there is a SIMILAR function that returns a percentage value (integer between 1 - 100) on the similarity of two text columns.
I was just wondering if there's a function in PostgreSQL or MySQL that provides the same functionality? Yup, I've read about the related functions (soundex, difference, levenshtein, etc.). Is it also possible that this one's gone to obscurity because of the SIMILAR TO syntax? I've googled this one in every way that I could think of but haven't found anything.. -- Alec Joseph Rivera F S 3 Consulting Inc. http://www.fs3.ph
