- Hello programmers/researchers,
-
-
- I am going to write a database for a friend of mine who owns a Compact
- disk shop. This database will contain CD's in stock, minimum stock etc etc. Ofcourse it will contain the artist/performers name etc.
-
- For the latter one I want to set up a soundex key as well. I have heard of the soundex algorithm but never seen any pratical applications.
-
- I would like to get info/ a 'C' program (function) that makes use of
- the Soundex algorithm.
-
- Also any information on using index files (for fast searching) or
- 'C' code would be greatly appreciated.
-
-
- Any pointers to soundex/indexing are also welcome.
