  • Data similarity detection
    Patent number: 12711201
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for comparing and analyzing similarities between database tables. The method includes receiving a database instance containing at least two tables with multiple rows and columns, performing irreversible hashing operations on selected data within specified rows and columns of both tables, conducting statistical comparisons between corresponding columns to determine table similarities, and displaying the comparison results through a graphical user interface. The system employs data transformation through one-way hashing techniques and statistical analysis to evaluate structural and content similarities between database tables, enabling efficient comparison of structured data sets while maintaining data security through irreversible hashing.
