As a SQL Server DBA, I realized that SQL Server has no function for Title Case, like the “initcap” function in Oracle. So I’ve made one that capitalizes the first letter of every word in a given text string:
create function initcap (@text varchar(4000))returns varchar(4000)asbegin declare @counter int, @length int, @char char(1), @textnew varchar(4000) set @text = rtrim(@text) set @text = lower(@text) set @length = len(@text) set @counter = 1 set @text = upper(left(@text, 1) ) + right(@text, @length - 1) while @counter <> @length --+ 1 begin select @char = substring(@text, @counter, 1) IF @char = space(1) or @char = '_' or @char = ',' or @char = '.' or @char = '' or @char = '/' or @char = '(' or @char = ')' begin set @textnew = left(@text, @counter) + upper(substring(@text, @counter+1, 1)) + right(@text, (@length - @counter) - 1) set @text = @textnew end set @counter = @counter + 1 end return @textend
