| Jim writes "I am currently working on a report where we pull customer and vendor data from two systems, and verify they're entered the same way in both. I'm currently using a query roughly of the form "WHERE a.cust_num = b.cust_num AND a.cust_name != b.cust_name". However, according to our Records department, they don't care about punctuation. For example, they would consider "COMPANY, INC." and "COMPANY INC" to be a match, and it shouldn't show up on the report as being different. Is there a way to do this without sucking all the resources out of the server?" |
