Hi,
A function like initcap in other databases and programming languages in
mysql would be
much desired in such situations.
You may try this ugly code.
select ltrim(replace(replace(replace...(concat(' ',lower(strcolumn)),' a','
A'),' b',' B' ),' c',' C'), ...,' z',' Z')) from tablename;
A

I have no problem with figuring out how to punctuate a field that contains a
single word, but how would I code a SQL query to proper-case each word in a
field when the field contains, for instance, a title? I want to convert,
"HOW NOW BROWN COW" to, "How Now Brown Cow"
Thanks,
Doug
