我可以在SOUNDEX（）函数中传递多个参数以获得多值结果吗

Question

My student table stu_table contains many different student name but most of them sound similar, in the field stu_name .

For example:

Mrinmoy, Minmay, Mrinmay, Minmoy, 
Tanmoy ,Tanmay, Tonmoy, Tanmy, 
Rajesh, Rajes, 
Anirban, Anirbon.

• Here first 5 make a similar sound group of name
• Next 3 make a similar sound group of name
• and last 2 make another group of similar sound name.

Can i pass more than one parameter (for example Mrinmoy and Tanmoy) within a single SOUNDEX() function to fetch both result.

If yes then how to pass it. Please help.

Answer 1

soundex() accept only one parameter. So you have to use OR in sql. You can try this sql.

SELECT * FROM `stu_table` where soundex(`stu_name`)= soundex('Anirban') OR soundex(`stu_name`)=soundex('Tonmoy')
