Function module leveraging fuzzy search capability

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium embodying a computer program for performing a method, said method comprising:

• providing a native fuzzy search capability of a database engine in a relational database layer comprising an in-memory architecture, the native fuzzy search capability comprising a SELECT operator;
• providing an application layer in communication with the database engine, the application layer lacking fuzzy searching capability and including stored data;
• causing the relational database layer to receive a fuzzy search request including a first input from the application layer;
• based upon the first input, causing the database engine to create in the relational database layer, a temporary relational database table including a copy of the subset of the data;
• in response to a second input from the application layer, performing the fuzzy search request on the temporary relational database table utilizing the native fuzzy search capability;
• and
• exporting fuzzy search results from the relational database layer to the application layer.

A computer system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a software program, executable on said computer system, the software program configured to:
• provide a native fuzzy search capability of a database engine in a relational database layer comprising an in-memory architecture, the native fuzzy search capability comprising a SELECT operator;
• provide an application layer in communication with the database engine, the application layer lacking fuzzy searching capability and including stored data;
• cause the relational database layer to receive a fuzzy search request including a first input from the application layer;
• based upon the first input, causing the database engine to create in the relational database layer, a temporary relational database table including a copy of the subset of the data;
• in response to a second input from the application layer, perform the fuzzy search request on the temporary relational database table utilizing the native fuzzy search capability;
• and
