Conversion Function And Aliases
FindDuplicateRecords uses special data conversion and matching functions to identify matching records.
Conversion functions change data in one form to another - for example the function CONVERT_TO_UPPER_CASE() internally converts data to uppercase before matching takes place.
A number of conversion functions are supplied, but you can create your own if you wish. Just set up an alias for one or more conversion functions in the 'Conversion Aliases' screen.
Aliases are shortened, convenient forms representing one or more other conversion aliases combined.
