write user-defined function.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.FirstCapital (@.str VARCHAR(255))
RETURNS VARCHAR(255)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @.FirstLetter CHAR(1)
SET @.FirstLetter = LEFT(@.str,1)
IF @.FirstLetter between 'a' and 'z'
SET @.FirstLetter = CHAR(ASCII(@.FirstLetter) + (ASCII('A') - ASCII('a')))
SET @.str = @.FirstLetter +RIGHT(@.str, LEN(@.str)-1)
RETURN @.str
END
Then
SELECT dbo.FirstCapital ('test string')|||didn't wake up yet
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.FirstCapital (@.str VARCHAR(255))
RETURNS VARCHAR(255)
AS
BEGIN
RETURN UPPER(LEFT(@.str,1))+RIGHT(@.str, LEN(@.str)-1)
END
