A four character string is returned.  By comparing SOUNDEX() results for
two character expressions, you can determine if the two expressions are
phonetically similar (in other words, they sound alike).  This can be
useful when searching for duplicates or when checking data.

SOUNDEX() is not case-sensitive and generally disregards vowels.
