changing records in tables

Hi,

I was just wondering... Is there any built-in function in MS SQL, which will
allow me to do rows' "capitalisation"?
Lets say that in database.table.name I've got:
"FOO BAR LTD.", which I want to change to "Foo Bar Ltd."
"Foo bar LTD.", which I want to be "Foo Bar Ltd.".
Is there any way of doing this or do I have to read it from database, change
in some script, and then insert it back into the table?

Hope it's all clear ;-)

Thank you,

No, there is no built in for this. You could write your own scalar
UDF for this.
