Match two string for similarity

Oracle ManiacOct 6 2018 — edited Oct 6 2018

HI All

I have a requirement wherein I need to find matching strings.

I need to scan all rows of table 1, pick column1 (varchar2(1000))

and scan table 2 for all the rows and find matching data in the

column2 of table2 (which is again varchar). This matching isnt simple

becuase the data might have typos, the texts might appear shuffled and

in addition, the text might have additional texts. However, What I need

is a match; I am aware of jaro wrinkler alogorithm but I want to use that

very cautiously as the matched data will is business critical.

pls help
