This entity includes a plug-in that checks for duplicate vehicle models. This plug in uses the spCheckForVehicleModelMatch Database Object to provide the following matching logic:

• Existing records that match a new record's Year, Model Name, and Manufacturer are flagged as absolute matches.
• Existing records that match a new record's Model Name and Manufacturer (but not year) are flagged as potential duplicates.

This stored procedure receives the RecordID, Year, and ModelName from the CheckForDuplicate method (using the values from the current GE object) to check and returns a Match Type and if a match is found, a list of matching IDs. This stored procedure returns one of the following Match Values:

• 0: No duplicates found
• 1: Absolute Match Found, the record ID(s) of the absolute match will be placed in the arDuplicates array
• 2: Possible Match(s) found, the record ID(s) of the potential match(s) will be placed in the arDuplicates array

The text of the spCheckForVehicleModelMatch stored procedure appears below but you can also find it in the Database Objects service if you installed the sample application.
