An implementation of the Jaro Winkler distance algorithm in Transact SQL

问题

I've been wondering for months about how to implement this algorithm in Transact SQL, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaro%E2%80%93Winkler_distance

How can it be done?

Today I finally stumbled upon this Stack Overflow-answer by leebickmtu showing an implementation in C#, originally ported from Java. I took the liberty to port it to a Transact SQL function, enjoy!

IF OBJECT_ID (N'dbo.InlineMax', N'FN') IS NOT NULL
    DROP FUNCTION dbo.InlineMax;
GO

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.InlineMax(@valueOne int, @valueTwo int)
    RETURNS FLOAT
AS
BEGIN
    IF @valueOne > @valueTwo
    BEGIN
        RETURN @valueOne
    END

    RETURN ISNULL(@valueTwo, @valueOne)
END;
GO

IF OBJECT_ID (N'dbo.InlineMin', N'FN') IS NOT NULL
    DROP FUNCTION dbo.InlineMin;
GO

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.InlineMin(@valueOne int, @valueTwo int)
    RETURNS FLOAT
AS
BEGIN
    IF @valueOne < @valueTwo
        RETURN @valueOne

    RETURN @valueTwo
END;
GO

IF OBJECT_ID (N'dbo.JaroWinklerDistance', N'FN') IS NOT NULL
    DROP FUNCTION dbo.JaroWinklerDistance;
