Re: Reconciling Two Unrelated Tables

Preaching to the choir. I, however, hold no sway over our accounting
department and the software they use. :(

How would I go about it with the like() and INSTR()?

Thanks!

Now you see why the database design is important and a unique ID is a good
idea!

You can try using the like() function or INSTR() in a query to find partsof
the name in the string.

For the like function:

In the full name column put

like "*punctuatedname*" '(of course use your names)

add the amount criteria and check your results.
