关于UTL_MATCH的使用,有几点需要注意:
- EDIT_DISTANCE_SIMILARITY:返回 0 到 100 之间的整数,其中 0 表示完全不相似,100 表示完全匹配。
- JARO_WINKLER_SIMILARITY:返回 0 到 100 之间的整数,其中 0 表示完全没有相似性,100 表示完全匹配,但会尝试考虑可能的数据输入错误。
ORDER BY UTL_MATCH.EDIT_DISTANCE_SIMILARITY('%operation Knee right%',diagnosisname) DESC
这不会给你正确的结果。因为,您只考虑可能的相似性,而没有考虑数据输入错误。因此,您必须使用JARO_WINKLER_SIMILARITY。

您需要记住输入的CASE和要比较的列值。它们必须在相似的情况下才能正确匹配。您在LOWERCASE中传递输入,但是,您的列值在INITCAP中。更好地将列值和输入转换为类似的情况。
让我们看下面的演示来理解:
SQL> WITH DATA AS(
2 SELECT 'Heart Operation' diagnosis_name, 'IH123' icd_code FROM dual UNION ALL
3 SELECT 'Knee Operation' diagnosis_name, 'IK123' icd_code FROM dual UNION ALL
4 SELECT 'Left Knee Operation' diagnosis_name, 'IKL123' icd_code FROM dual UNION ALL
5 SELECT 'Right Knee Operation' diagnosis_name, 'IKR123' icd_code FROM dual UNION ALL
6 SELECT 'Fever' diagnosis_name, 'IF123' icd_code FROM dual
7 )
8 SELECT t.*,
9 utl_match.edit_distance_similarity(upper(diagnosis_name),upper('operation Knee right')) eds,
10 UTL_MATCH.jaro_winkler_similarity (upper(diagnosis_name),upper('operation Knee right')) jws
11 FROM DATA t
12 ORDER BY jws DESC

DIAGNOSIS_NAME ICD_CO EDS JWS
-------------------- ------ ---------- ----------
Right Knee Operation IKR123 20 72
Knee Operation IK123 20 70
Heart Operation IH123 25 68
Left Knee Operation IKL123 25 64
Fever IF123 15 47

因此,您会看到两者之间有何不同。jaro_winkler_similarity在识别数据输入错误和给出最接近的匹配方面做得更好。基于此,只需在降序排序后选择第一行:
SQL> WITH DATA AS(
2 SELECT 'Heart Operation' diagnosis_name, 'IH123' icd_code FROM dual UNION ALL
3 SELECT 'Knee Operation' diagnosis_name, 'IK123' icd_code FROM dual UNION ALL
4 SELECT 'Left Knee Operation' diagnosis_name, 'IKL123' icd_code FROM dual UNION ALL
5 SELECT 'Right Knee Operation' diagnosis_name, 'IKR123' icd_code FROM dual UNION ALL
6 SELECT 'Fever' diagnosis_name, 'IF123' icd_code FROM dual
7 )
8 SELECT diagnosis_name
9 FROM
10 (SELECT t.*,
11 utl_match.edit_distance_similarity(upper(diagnosis_name),upper('operation Knee right')) eds,
12 UTL_MATCH.jaro_winkler_similarity (upper(diagnosis_name),upper('operation Knee right')) jws
13 FROM DATA t
14 ORDER BY jws DESC
15 )
