delta/postgresql.git/contrib/metaphone/Makefile, branch master

Sorry - I should have gotten to this sooner. Here's a patch which you should

be able to apply against what you just committed. It rolls soundex into
fuzzystrmatch.

Remove soundex/metaphone and merge into fuzzystrmatch.

Attached is a patch to deal with the ones that I missed the first time

2001-06-20T00:04:44+00:00

around.  I tested this patch under Cygwin and Linux.

Note that I only changed dblink's Makefile in the most minimal way
to fix the link problem under Cygwin (i.e., use the link rule from
Makefile.shlib instead).  dblink's Makefile should probably be further
patched to be consistent with the other PostgreSQL Makefiles.

This directory contains a module that implements the "Metaphone" code as

2001-05-09T23:00:44+00:00

a PostgreSQL user-defined function.  The Metaphone system is a method of
matching similar sounding names (or any words) to the same code.

Metaphone was invented by Lawrence Philips as an improvement to the popular
name-hashing routine, Soundex.

This metaphone code is from Michael Kuhn, and is detailed at
