Thread: How to install Soundex() on Windows 2000

Recent versions of postgresql have an implementation in the contrib
directory. It also comes with a makefile and sql snippet to create the
function.

Any reason why so old a version. Newer releases (like 7.4) are really much
faster generally have more features. 7.2.2 is prehistoric almost.

Maybe you need to make clean?
