Thread: SOUNDEX - plans for SQL function?

Hi - Are there any plans for SOUNDEX SQL function
in the future?   I'm happy to donate a Java
package that implements SOUNDEX if required.

There is something in the contrib directory.  For details on how I put
that into my database, see http://www.freebsddiary.org/postgresql-7.2.php
and look for the section titled "Soundex/Fuzzy matching".

[yes, it's FreeBSD-centric, but the basic instructions should get you
going under any other OS]
