ABSTRACT:
A data-processing technique improves the process of “householding” customer data in a company's relational database system. The process involves combining data from two or more attribute columns in one or more relational tables to form a single column of concatenated data. The concatenated data is used in identifying two or more records that share a common value, which indicates that the records all represent a particular customer. A unique identification value is assigned to this customer and is stored with each of the identified records. In some embodiments, the process is used in identifying records that represent multiple customers living together in a single household.
