  Please elaborate buddy,
  
  As per my understanding, you have recognized the characters,and now you want to match that with database. I dont think it is a big deal. What you want exactly? What software you are using for doing this?

  Thanks for reply man!!
  I m doing project on MATLAB platform. I know that its not a big deal of matching the characters with the database.. but i m unable to find proper algorithm for that.. I mean i tried to match the image matrices pixel by pixel and storing the count of the matched pixels... R u following?. If not then let me know... But that method was not fruitful and didnt get proper output.. I compared one of the letter of number plate 'G' with my database letters 'G' and 'Q' which are look alike on pixel value basis. I got very similiar matching. so unable to discriminate. Have you any other simple algorithm??
  Awaiting for ur valuable reply....
  Really appreciate u!!

  Read about optical character recognition. You may have Microsoft Imaging on your PC. This has optical character recognition if you also have a scanner. Read help on that or here is a bit on that program...

  Then letters or numbers in a database would typically be an "ASCII" code. ASCII table...
  ASCII Table - ASCII Character Codes, HTML, Octal, Hex, Decimal
  
  Or for the bitmap thing, read about fingerprint matching where it is a "best match" sort of thing. (Not everything exactly matching.) Here is something on that...
