If I wanted to run a query where certain fields in my query were to be mispelt (up to a certain point of course), is there a native way to do this with MS SQL server or does one have to implement something else entirely?
What I think it boils to is can you select where levenstein distance is a max of X
Example
select from myTable WHERE name closeTo(‘Erik’)
and it might return things like Eric, ie, a Levenhstein distance of 1
