SQL Server 2008 - Avancerad sökning/sortering

Du letar efter Levenshtein-avstånd

Här en algoritmimplementering för T-SQL:Beräkning Levenshtein Avstånd i TSQL

Som funktionssignatur är som:

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[LEVENSHTEIN]( @s NVARCHAR(MAX), @t NVARCHAR(MAX) )
/*
Levenshtein Distance Algorithm: TSQL Implementation
by Joseph Gama

http://www.merriampark.com/ldtsql.htm

Du kan anropa det i din fråga som:

Select *
from ValuesInDatabase V
order by
    [dbo].[LEVENSHTEIN](  V.ClientName, 'Alliance A' ) 

Du ska inte förvänta dig hög prestanda.

Jag kopierar här Joseph Gamas funktion för att bevara den, glöm inte att besöka devioblog :

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[LEVENSHTEIN]( @s NVARCHAR(MAX), @t NVARCHAR(MAX) )
/*
Levenshtein Distance Algorithm: TSQL Implementation
by Joseph Gama

http://www.merriampark.com/ldtsql.htm

Returns the Levenshtein Distance between strings s1 and s2.
