String MySQLSoundex

Aus ExpeccoWiki

Schema

Operation

Generates a mySQL soundex string (see Knuth, for example). The soundex string is the same for similar sounding (english) strings, thus it is useful for a fuzzy string compare (looking for miller in a database, when you are not sure, how to write this person...).

INFO: MySQL-Soundex is slightly different and incompatible with the original Soundex code.

CAVEAT: soundex is less useful for non-english languages; especially for german and other european languages, the kölnerPhonetic code might give better results.
