Use the application that you are using to save the information into the database to verify that the first letter of each entry is uppercase. I know for a fact that this can be done with perl, VB, c/c++, php, asp, javascript, and java.
I have found that sometimes it is better to let the application do some of the legwork, instead of the db. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Philips" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jari Mäkelä" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 9:08 AM Subject: Re: uppercase for first letter If you can't do it within MySQL (I don't know the answer to that one) you might be able to dump the information to a text file and process it using awk and then reload it. Awk is perfect for this kind of thing. There is a Windows version, if that is your OS.
