| ;Important
| |
| *Please update to this version [http://www.melissadata.com/free-trials/matchup-merge-purge-duplicates.htm (Build 2009)]
| |
| | |
| ;Environment
| |
| :MatchUp now uses the new Melissa Data license format and ENV variable name.
| |
| :Please call a sales representative at 1-800-MELISSA ext. 3 (1-800-635-4772 x3) for a valid license string.
| |
| :MatchUp will also check for a valid license in the MD_LICENSE(Environment) variable. This allows you to modify the license without recompiling the project
| |
| :The default installation path for the MatchUp data files is now "c:\ProgramData\Melissa DATA\MatchUP\" for newer operating systems. Please check your 'Common App Data' directory for older OSs, for example: it may be "c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Melissa DATA\MatchUP".
| |
| | |
| ;Matchcode Editor
| |
| :The Matchcode Editor has been redesigned. Existing matchcodes can still be read/edited/used for backwards compatibility. The new Matchcode Editor allows us to provide a common interface with the MatchUp SSIS component
| |
| | |
| ;Functionality Changes
| |
| :Removal of certain matchcode restrictions that were required in existing version. This allows users to use an Intersecting matching logic - meaning you can create matchcodes without a common first component, making it more flexible
| |
| :SQL Server Interface: There is now a set of CLR-based procedures. A seperate installer script is provided as an alternative to the _xp and UDF methods of interfacing the MatchUp library.
| |
| | |
| ;Interface Changes
| |
| :Naming conventions for Interface Wrappers have been changed/updated to use the same naming convention as other Melissa Data Objects
| |
| | |
| :;Added Matchcode Component types:
| |
| :*Date (days)
| |
| :*Numeric (integer unit)
| |
| :*Proximity (miles)
| |
| | |
| :These new types allow you to specify, as a component property, a range for which a match will be possible if the records being compared fall within the set range. There are also new Enumerations, Mapping Targets and Matchcode Mappings for these new component types.
| |
| | |
| :;Added addition Fuzzy Algorithms:
| |
| :*N-Gram
| |
| :*Jaro Distance
| |
| :*Jaro-Winkler Distance
| |
| :*Longest Common Substring
| |
| :*Jaccard Index
| |
| :*Dices Coefficient
| |
| :*Overlap Coefficient
| |
| :*Needleman-Wunsch
| |
| :*Smith-Waterman-Gotoh
| |
| :*MD Keyboard
| |
| :*Double Metaphone
| |
| | |
| :;New Interface
| |
| :*mdMUMatchcodeList - allows the user to list available matchcodes
| |
| :*SetPathToMatchUpFiles()
| |
| :*InitializeDataFiles()
| |
| :*GetInitializeErrorString()
| |
| :*GetMatchcodeCount() - retrieves number of matchcodes.
| |
| :*GetMatchcodeName() - retrieves name of matchcode at specified position.
| |
| | |
| :;New Methods
| |
| :*GetResults() - retrieves matching result codes.
| |
| :*GetNearDbl() - retrieves Near setting (supercedes GetNear()).
| |
| :*SetNearDbl() - sets Near setting (supercedes SetNear()).
| |
| :*GetDescription() - retrieves a matchcodes user-specified description.
| |
| :*SetDescription() - sets a matchcodes user-specified description.
| |
| :*GetNGram() - retrieves a matchcodes n-gram setting.
| |
| :*SetNGram() - sets a matchcodes n-gram setting.
| |
| :*RenameMatchcode() - change a matchcode’s name.
| |
| :*DeleteMatchcode() - delete a matchcode.
| |
| | |
| :;Deprecated
| |
| :*GetStatusCode and GetCombinations have been deprecated as GetResults gives the user a single output property to retrieve this information.
| |
| | |
| ;Sample Code
| |
| :Previous examples have been changed, with GetStatusCode and GetCombintions being replaced by GetResults to reflect usage in retrieving ouput properties
| |
| :Hybrid examples have been added to most samples and interfaces
