How can i figure out..
if a string is completely in uppercase?
or
if a string is not in title case (ie: The first letter of a word is in Uppercase and remaining are in lower case).

Thanks in advance.

It would be better if you can do this in front end since there are lots of ready made In built functions for the same.

But you can trying using ASCII functions of the SQL for the same.

Hope the following scripts helps you..

For checking the Upper

Declare @var Varchar(1000)
Set @Var = 'SOMEVALUE'
IF ASCII(@Var) = ASCII(Upper(@var))
Print 'Its in the Upper Case'
Else
Print 'Its Not in the upper CAse'


--- for the title case

IF ASCII(LEft(@Var,1)) = ASCII(Upper(Left(@Var,1)))
Print 'its the Title Case'
Else
Print 'Its Not The Title Case. '




Complicated things can be done by simple thinking

SELECT *

WHERE UPPER(MyColumn) = MyColumn COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN

You can use
IF @Var COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN = UPPER(@Var)
RETURN 1
ELSE
RETURN 0
