Dear All,
Is there any alternative of Soundex function. I have two table of city. I want to compare city of both table. Now problem is that one city name is 'HANGO'. In table A City is feeded with spelling 'HANGO' and other it is spelled 'HANGU' OR 'HUNGU'. Similarly there are many cases. I used Soundex functon but it is not working perfectly.

Is there any other way to compare data by sound.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards.
Asif.

No there is no other Oracle built-in function but you can find on the web many similar functions and maybe one will fit your needs but you have to ask "how can I kow that 'HANGO', 'HANGU' and 'HUNGU' are identical", if youi can't yourself answer this question you wsill not be able to choose among the functions you will find.

Regards
Michel
