>>>Hello,
>>> I would like to search a table for names using a remote view. When I search for "Smith", I would like to be able to get "Smithe" or "Smythe" as part of the result. Can you do this with SQL. SOUNDEX() is the command I have used on local tables.

You may include Expression to the list of seleted fields or to filter condition list. This expression will include SOUNDEX(TRemotetable.FieldX).
