Hi all!

I've a problem, I need to import values from foxpro into my sql database. No problem so far.
But I've to look for duplicate entries in the database, especially streetnames. The imported data can contain something like 'Airportstreet 16' and this can already be stored in the database like 'Airportst. 16' or 'Airportstr. 16' and so on.
I therefore replace 'street' with 'st' and compare this string with the database entries using LIKE.

The SELECT command is:
cmd = "SELECT ... WHERE street LIKE '" + cStreet +"%' ..."

This command evaluates to:
SELECT ... WHERE street LIKE 'Airportst 16%' ...

which can't be found in the database; it should be "... LIKE 'Airportst% 16' ...".

How could I achieve this?
Any suggestions?

TIA
