OptionDescription
fuzzy match

Use a fuzzy matching algorithm for key value matching.

Tip

Tip: Use this option to perform fuzzy join matching of primary keys between datasets.


Info

NOTE: Fuzzy joins can only be applied to String data types. Other data types cannot be fuzzy-matched using the algorithm.

Fuzzy matching uses the doublemetaphone algorithm for matching strings (keys). Both primary encodings of each key value must match. See DOUBLEMETAPHONEEQUALS Function.

Ignore caseIgnore case differences between the join key values for matching purposes.
Ignore special charactersIgnore all characters that are not alphanumeric, accented Latin characters, or whitespace, prior to testing for a match.
Ignore whitespaceIgnore all whitespace characters, including spaces, tabs, carriage returns, and newlines.
