I learned how to use the Levenshtein functions in PostgreSQL
The thing is that there is a limit of 255 characters for these functions in PostgreSQL so you need to truncate the strings before comparing
Also, the trgm functions I&rsquo;ve used before are case insensitive, but Levenshtein is not, so you need to make sure to lower case both strings first
