Matching rows by sound

With the SOUNDEX function, you can match rows by sound, as well as by spelling. For example, suppose a phone message was left for a name that sounded like “Ms. Brown”. Which employees in the company have names that sound like Brown?

To list employees with surnames that sound like Brown, type the following:

SELECT Surname, GivenName
FROM Employees
WHERE SOUNDEX( Surname ) = SOUNDEX( 'Brown' )

Jane Braun is the only employee matching the search condition.
