Miscellaneous Match Types

Several additional match types are defined in the wizard for the Sun Match Engine. These match types are used to indicate matching on a string, date, or number fields other than those described above or to indicate matching on a field that contains a single character (such as the gender field, which might accept “F” for female or “M” for male). These match types do not define standardization for the specified field and do not add any fields to the object structure. If you specify one of these match types for a field in the wizard, the field is added to the match string with a match type of String, Date, Number, or Char.
