The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

t-sql

I'm looking to do a group by that will allow me to set a threshold of similarity - effectively ignoring spelling errors and the occasional (S) on the end of the name.

i have a single table that has multiple records that are very similar, and I'm trying to see which of these use which foreign keys in the DB.

Ex:
Deck       -  FK: 104
Decks     - FK:  103
Deks       - FK: 104
Door        -FK: 155
Dooor      -FK: 155
door        -FK: 156


Don't worry about how I'm accumulating all the FK's for each record - but I'd like a query that is kind of a dynamic "LIKE" expression.  I can't just go   LIKE 'De%'  and LIKE 'Do%'  for obvious reasons, but what I would like is to group the 3 decks and 3 doors in one to come up with a "count" of 3 records for each, using one query.

IE:  select Name from table where name is 95% similar
This sounds like it would need some kind of advanced index possibly?

Is anything  possible here ?
