mysql levenshtein_MySQL Levenshtein

我正在尝试创建一个MySQL函数来计算levenshtein距离.我找到了一个看起来非常接近我所需要的功能,但是它不断向各处抛出错误 – 我是MySQL新手,所以我不知道出了什么问题？

这是功能：

DELIMITER $$

CREATE FUNCTION LEVENSHTEIN( s1 CHAR(255), s2 CHAR(255))

RETURNS int(3)

DETERMINISTIC

BEGIN

DECLARE s1_len, s2_len, i, j, c, c_temp, cost INT;

DECLARE s1_char CHAR(255);

DECLARE cv0, cv1 CHAR(255);

SET s1_len = LENGTH(s1);

SET s2_len = LENGTH(s2);

SET cv1 = 0x00;

SET j = 1;

SET i = 1;

SET c = 0;

IF s1 = s2 THEN

RETURN 0;

ELSE IF s1_len = 0 THEN

RETURN s2_len;

ELSE IF s2_len = 0 THEN

RETURN s1_len;

ELSE

WHILE j <= s2_len DO

SET c = c + 1;

IF s1_char = SUBSTRING(s2, j, 1) THEN

SET cost = 0; ELSE SET cost = 1;

END IF;

SET c_temp = CONV(HEX(SUBSTRING(cv1, j, 1)), 16, 10) + cost;

SET c_temp = CONV(HEX(SUBSTRING(cv1, j+1, 1)), 16, 10) + 1;

IF c > c_temp THEN

SET c = c_temp;

END IF;

SET cv0 = CONCAT(cv0, UNHEX(HEX(c))), j = j + 1;

END WHILE;

SET cv1 = cv0, i = i + 1;

END WHILE;

END IF;

RETURN c;

END$$

DELIMITER ;

这是错误(到目前为止).
