How to query soundex() in MySQL?
The SOUNDEX() returns a soundex string. Two strings that sound almost the same should have identical soundex strings
To query soundex() in MySQL, you can use the below syntax −
select *from yourTableName where soundex(yourValue)=soundex(yourColumnName);
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, FirstName varchar(20), LastName varchar(20) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.28 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName,LastName) values('Adam','Smith');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.04 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName,LastName) values('David','Miller');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName,LastName) values('Carol','Taylor');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.06 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName,LastName) values('Chris','Brown');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.06 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName,LastName) values('John','Smith');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+----+-----------+----------+ | Id | FirstName | LastName | +----+-----------+----------+ | 1 | Adam | Smith | | 2 | David | Miller | | 3 | Carol | Taylor | | 4 | Chris | Brown | | 5 | John | Smith | +----+-----------+----------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query for soundex() in MySQL.
mysql> select *from DemoTable where soundex('Smith')=soundex(LastName);This will produce the following output −
+----+-----------+----------+ | Id | FirstName | LastName | +----+-----------+----------+ | 1 | Adam | Smith | | 5 | John | Smith | +----+-----------+----------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
