Anagram Check With SQL

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

How would you write a query to check whether two given strings are anagrams of each other?

Assume comparisons are case-insensitive and ignore spaces and non-alphanumeric characters. Return false when either input is NULL.

Output

  1. One row per string pair, with pair_id, left_string, right_string, and is_anagram
  2. Include every pair, including pairs with NULL inputs
  3. Order by pair_id ascending
