Re: Soundex in other language

Hi,

The following two links might be of help:

http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/Collections-Data-Structure/SoundextheSoundexAlgorithmasdescribedbyKnuth.htm

http://technology.amis.nl/blog/?p=1079

I can't verify if the extra action for Dutch is correct or where it is documented elsewhere.

It's a little adjustment, should not be very difficult, wrap it in a pl/sql function, and there you go.

Regards,

Jan
