This is a master list of the functions in the Incremental deduper interface.
Initialize the Incremental Interface
These functions prepare the Incremental interface for use and link it to its supporting data files.
Map Database Fields
Before generating match keys for the records in the database, the code must supply the Incremental interface with information about what sort of data it will be handling.
| Function Name |
|---|
| ClearMappings |
| AddMapping |
Read Data and Build the Match Key
These functions take the real data being compared and construct a match key according to the mappings defined with the mapping functions and the matchcode specified when the Incremental interface was initialized.
| Function Name |

| SetKey |
| SetUserInfo |
Compare Record to Database
These functions compare the new key with the existing key file and, if a duplicate is found, return information about the duplicate records in the file.
| Function Name |
|---|
| MatchRecord |
| GetStatusCode |
| NextMatchingRecord |
| GetCount |
| GetDupeGroup |
| GetEntry |
| GetCombinations |
| GetKey |
| GetUserInfo |

Add New Record to Key File
The Incremental interface does not handle reading or writing data to the database. This function only adds the new match key to the key file for future comparisons.

These functions enable the Incremental interface to use transactions, processing multiple calls to the AddRecord function before committing the changes to the key file.
