Body
Your database may suport the use of Regular Expressions (regex) - see below for some tutorials in Java - here's the link to the MySQL documentation (as an example): <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/regexp.html#operator_regexp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/regexp.html#operator_regexp</a> You would probably want to store in the database a fairly complex regular express statement for each company that encompassed the variations in spelling that you might anticipate - or the sub-elements of the company name that you would like to weight as being significant. You can also use the regex library in Java JDK 1.4.2 <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html</a> JDK 1.5.0 <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/regex/Matcher.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/regex/Matcher.html</a> Using Regular Expressions in Java <a href="http://www.regular-expressions.info/java.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.regular-expressions.info/java.html</a> The Java Regex API Explained <a href="http://www.sitepoint.com/article/java-regex-api-explained/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.sitepoint.com/article/java-regex-api-explained/</a> You might also want to see if your database supports Soundex capabilities (for example, see the following link to MySQL) <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html#function_soundex" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html#function_soundex</a>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
