Matching inconsistent color names

From the sample of records in the parking_violation table, it is clear that the vehicle_color values are not consistent. For example, 'GRY', 'GRAY', and 'GREY' are all used to describe a gray vehicle. In order to consistently represent this color, it is beneficial to use a single value. Fortunately, the DIFFERENCE() function can be used to accomplish this goal.

In this exercise, you will use the DIFFERENCE() function to return records that contain a vehicle_color value that closely matches the string 'GRAY'. The fuzzystrmatch module has already been enabled for you.

Istruzioni dell'esercizio

  • Use the DIFFERENCE() function to find parking_violation records having a vehicle_color with a Soundex code that matches the Soundex code for 'GRAY'. Recall that the DIFFERENCE() function accepts string values (not Soundex codes) as parameter arguments.
