Any suggestions for a good way to find duplicate mailing addresses in
our database.   Even third party software suggestions would be welcome
(iSeries or MS SQL server).   I want something "intelligent" so it can
match up something like "0123 E Grand River" with "123 East Grand Rvr".
I've played with SOUNDEX a bit in SQL but I don't want to re-invent the
wheel as I'm sure others have been through this exercise.  Thanks!
