SQLite

Levenshtein

The SQLite connector has the Levenshtein function! A couple of examples:

SELECT LEVENSHTEIN( 'Microsoft', 'Technology Advisors, Inc.' )

Result: 21

SELECT LEVENSHTEIN( 'Technology Advisors Inc', 'Technology Advisors, Inc.' )

Result: 2

Comparing 2 strings is obviously less than useful, so you would want to do something like:

SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE LEVENSHTEIN('Technology Advisors, Inc.', TABLE.NAME) < 5

Issues

If your source SQLite table has a DateTime field, you may get the error: “String not recognized as a valid datetime”. If you get this error, add "datetimeformat=CurrentCulture", without double quotes, to the "Additional Connection String Parameters:" field on the Origin tab.
