Sounds like search for string in the database

Can i have a MySQL query which checks the table containing a list of
names?

I might have the following names on the table
Sony
Compaq
Logitech
Cabinet
Fedora
Angel
Incident

Can i get the results using the query for sounds like??

select name from table where name sounds like "sonny"

This should pick up Sony.. and a query like

select name from table where name sounds like "Kompaq"

This should pick up Compaq.

This is possible in MSSQL and Oracle. Is it possible in MySQL?

Thanks

How about the expression:

expr1 SOUNDS LIKE expr2

See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/...functions.html
