Sorry not to be more specific, but someone did almost exactly what you're sketching. I'll get back to you once I've found the paper, or if I've not found it again.

Actually just spin through these: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&client=safari&q=fuzzy+sql&btnG=Search http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&client=s... There's lots.
