Using SOUNDEX and DIFFERENCE to Standardize Data in SQL Server
My client wants to standardize address information for existing and future addresses collected for their customers, particularly the street suffixes. The application used to enter and collect address information has the street suffix separated from the address field, but it is a textbox instead of a drop down list therefore things are not standardized. I know there are some options out there to standarize data, but they would like a less expensive alternative. Are there any functions in SQL Server that I can use to standardized data?
Decoupling the Database
Database refactoring is a difficult proposition at the best of times, but is rendered more or less impossible if the database is close-coupled to the application's other components. In a guest editorial, Mladen Prajdic stresses the importance of a native SQL Server abstraction layer.
