to initcap right after it. If that's the case, you could just regex too.
Or more likely, use the appropriate ctype.h function (isalpha, probably).
Having tested it, Oracle capitalizes after all non-alphanumeric
The initcap function is not completely consistent with Oracle's initcap
function:
SELECT initcap('alex hyde-whyte');
In Oracle 9.2i this will return 'Alex Hyde-White', in PostgreSQL 7.3.3
it returns 'Alex Hyde-white'.

No, it doesn't change the 'y' to an 'i', that's a typo in my
