Hi, I would like to run a query and group several rows based on a phone number. However, the same phone number might have a prefix on occasion, example : name | phone_number ---------------------- james | 123456 james | 00441234556 james | 555666 sarah | 567890 sarah | 567890 as you can see, the first 2 James seems to belong together. running select name, phone_number from relation group by name, phone_number would not reflect this. I don't think there is a way to run something similar to this : select name, phone_number from relation group by name, %phone_number% // or similar However, I believe there is a way, so I would like to here it from you :) Functions, sums .. please let me know..
