I'm dealing with a large database which have two columns. The first column id
is a long
while second column name
is a String
. name
is the name of a person with corresponding id. So, I wish to compare the name
of row with name
of other rows.
John Carter
john Carter
Carter
jo car
Willam Carter
C William
Carter j.
All these name
s in rows should provide matches. If possible it would be great to have the percentage/ratio of match. Is there any java library/snippet that can do this? I'm open to all suggestions.
