Abstract

A novel technique for matching, merging, and combining a new database record with a master database record is described herein. The technique uses specific fields to compare in a unique exact match and fuzzy match combination to determine if a non-exact matching record pair is indeed a matched pair. Once the match is established, the records are merged or combined to utilize the best information from the two records.
