How to do LIKE matching in a.Name=b.Name

Hello ALL,

I have a statement as follows

Code:

SELECT * FROM tb1, tb2 WHER tb1.Name = tb2.Name

I would like to do fuzzy matching on the name field. I need something like

Code:

SELECT * FROM tb1, tb2 WHER tb1.Name LIKE '%tb2.Name%'

Also, I tried with

Code:

SELECT * FROM tb1, tb2 WHER LOCATE(tb1.Name, tb2.Name)<>0
