Good afternoon,
Under PostgreSQL 8.0.15, what is the good function to do the Fuzzy match
between two strings?
For example,
(1) 'abcddd' vs. 'abc'
probably returns 3
(2) 'abcddd' vs. 'ab'
probably returns 4
I am looking for functions that could compare how two strings are
similar to each other.
thanks a lot!
