Sorry for posting this again, but I got only one response last time, and
I'm still having the problem. I spent HOURS the other day manually
going through the data and Properizing these things by hand. I don't
want to do that again if I can avoid it. If anyone has any clues on
this one, I would appreciate it.
The only difference in this and what I have now is that someone
suggested changing it to Deterministic, which I did, and that didn't
change the output. I also changed "SQL SECURITY DEFINER" to "SQL
SECURITY INVOKER", and that didn't make a difference either.
----
I have the following function on two servers:
CREATE FUNCTION `ProperCase`(cInput TEXT)
RETURNS text
NOT DETERMINISTIC
CONTAINS SQL
SQL SECURITY DEFINER
COMMENT ''
BEGIN
Declare cReturn Text;
Set cReturn = CONCAT(UPPER(SUBSTRING(cInput,1,1)),LOWER(SUBSTRING(cInput
FROM 2)));
RETURN cReturn;
END;
It's a very simple function used to properize a string sent to it. When
I do
a simple SELECT ProperCase('JESSE'); it returns "JESSE" on our server that
is running 5.0.17-nt-log. On another server that I've got, running
5.0.51a-community-nt, this function returns "Jesse" as it should.
does it work outside the function?
did you tried SUBSTRING(cInput, 2)?
did you tried with converting?
from the manual: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html
"LOWER() (and UPPER()) are ineffective when applied to binary strings
(BINARY, VARBINARY, BLOB). To perform lettercase conversion, convert the
string to a non-binary string:
mysql> SET @str = BINARY 'New York';
mysql> SELECT LOWER(@str), LOWER(CONVERT(@str USING latin1));"
