Hi ppl, I know there is UPPER and LOWER... but if i wanted to convert a particular field into Normal Caps... is there a simple way in SQL to do it?

Thank you for your time.

You mean starting with a upper case and the rest lower case for each word delimited by spaces?
If that's all you want then it's pretty simple to write but there's no function for it.
If you have anything more complicated though you might want to look at the clr and use the .net function for it.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

I think our friend IGOR made a function for this here at SQLTeam.
