How do you perform address validation? [closed]

Answer 1

I will refer you to my blog post - A lesson in address storage, I go into some of the techniques and algorithms used in the process of address validation. My key thought is "Don't be lazy with address storage, it will cause you nothing but headaches in the future!"

Also, there is another StackOverflow question that asks this question. Entitled How should international geographic addresses be stored in a relational database.
