Hi,
 
I'm searching for an optimized Levenshtein Distance like Postgresql's. My problem is that I want to compare strings with a length over 255 characters.
Does anyone know a solution?

Hi,
I'm not sure there is anything different from what you've found in core/contribs. But you can always use pg/plpython or pg/plperl procedure with some external library calculating the distance.
