Is it possible to Compare two columns in Microsoft SQL server so that the comparison skips punctuation marks and other character like %, ' etc? -
i have 2 columns having data below.
column1
amc standard, school
column2
amc standard school.
in need compare these 2 columns such comparison made words , not additional, meaning above example column1 , columnc match due comma ",' , period sign "." simple comparison of column1 , column2 suggests mismatch.
you can replace non comparable characters empty string (in case , , .)and compare them. this.
select 1 replace('amc standard, school',',','') = replace('amc standard school.','.','')
based on jarlh comments, should (if possible) update columns , remove punctuation marks if not using in comparison , display.
