How do you hook a C++ compiled dll function to a sql database?
- by Thomas
I want to do something like:
lastName SIMILARTO(lastName, 'Schwarseneger', 2)
where lastName is the field in the database, 'Schwarseneger' is the value that lastName field is being compared to and 2 is the maximum number of characters (edit distance) that can differ between the lastName field, and the entered value.
I can implement the SIMILARTO function in C++ using the Levenshtein distance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance), but how do hook the function in a dll to a mySQL implementation?
