You can look into Warehouse Builder OWB_MATCH_MERGE package, that allows
to do couple of fuzzy matches. Fuctions are Similarity, Jaro_Winkler,
JW_SIMILARITY, DOUBLE_METAPHONE, EDIT_DISTANCE.
I suppose that purchase of 1 license of OWB is required to legally use
this package on all databases in your enterprise.
