&gt;     What database are you using?<br>
&gt;     You could do this with regular SQL, but it would by a costly operation,<br>
&gt;     for PostgreSQL we&#39;re using the prefix module:<br>
&gt;     <a href="http://pgfoundry.org/projects/prefix/" target="_blank">http://pgfoundry.org/projects/prefix/</a><br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;     You can then match the closest prefix by using something like<br>
&gt;     &quot;WHERE myprefix_col @&gt; caller_destination_number ORDER BY LENGTH<br>
&gt;     (myprefix_col::text) LIMIT 1;&quot;<br>

&gt;     &gt; Hello,<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt; I&#39;m trying to write a post-paid billing script, I have the CDR on my<br>
&gt;     &gt; database and also a &quot;rates&quot; table, the CDR contains fields like<br>
&gt;     &gt; caller_destination_number, variable_duration, etc. and the rates<br>
&gt;     &gt; table contains: destination, prefix, rate (cost).<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt; The problem is that I can&#39;t just strip the destination number to<br>
&gt;     &gt; take the prefix from it because I have to deal with destination<br>
&gt;     &gt; numbers from different countries and they all have different prefix<br>
&gt;     &gt; lengths... so I need to find another way to take the prefix from the<br>
&gt;     &gt; destination number.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt; Any ideas how to do this?<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt; Thanks,<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
