Details

The DQGENDERPARSED function returns a gender determination from a parsed character value that contains the name of an individual. If the analysis finds substantial clues that indicate the gender of the individual, the function returns a value that indicates that the gender is female or male. If the analysis is inconclusive, the function returns a value that indicates that the gender is unknown. The specific return value depends on the specified gender analysis definition and locale.
