Finding duplicate records and potential mispellings in an array
Hi There
I have an array of of peoples names
Example
string[] names = new string[] {"Jim Bean","Jack Daniels" ,"Jim Bean" ,"Tim Bean"}
How do I loop through the array to find duplicates.
I also need to know how I can find similar names in the array to find mispelt names as in the example.
pseudo-code will be good enough
Thanks
Stanton

Use can use Oracle To Solve this Issue.. There is a Function in Oracle called Soundex() which Finds Names Which Sound Similar.. So It Would be a good option for you to find duplicates in names..

I think SOUNDEX function is also available in SQL Server.. So try searching for more info about it..
