While we were adding these functions, we also decided to add a few other common ones. Snake case and Kebab Case look like this:. Note that in Snake Case, the words are all lower-cased and any whitespace between the words is replaced by a single underscore. We've got some homemade functions that try to get to proper case, with varying results. How does your product handle a name like Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen aka The Red Baron , where "von" is properly lower case?
Tomalak the i variable should start at one, otherwise a space is prepended to the output — Jakub. Excellent little function. Not that the O. Show 14 more comments. Here's a UDF that will do the trick Galwegian Galwegian This will blow up for non-english input. Tried this with SQL Server and all kind of accents, worked like a charm. It depends in fact on the collation — Baptiste. Its giving results as expected.

The only - you can get error if title is empty. Good solution but a little restrictive on the length of possibilities. For future viewers, may want to split on your sentence terminator and First-Case the first word in the sentence.

IT is internationally safe and uses someone else's library which is probably full of all sorts of checks. YOu can't go wrong here : — Cervo. Can you describe why it's better then Tomalak's ToProperCase function stackoverflow. Based on the examples given with this answer and Tomalak's along with Tomalak's description of what it does "leaves lowercase words alone" this answer is better.
I didn't verify Tomalak's, but this answer does Proper Case the input as far as my needs can verify. Alansoft Alansoft 83 1 1 silver badge 3 3 bronze badges. This works well except that "jack's house" becomes "Jack'S House" — Damien. Jack's House is not a person's name. O'Brian, O'Connell are names : If you're not deal exclusively with people's name a change is necessary. Jack's House could easily be the name of a business, though.

Do you still view this as US-centric solution as it references unicode chars. I know the original posting used A-Z ascii resultset, but the point of the solution is that its a table driven pairing of upper:lower chars.
The replace statement just refers to the table. Thanks for any feedback — Nathan Skerl. Is there an "un-elegant" way of handling most known variations for names that are not hyphenated? Like 'Mc', O'C, and what not? Lee Lee 27 1 1 bronze badge.

How about Greek? Or Turkish? I would argue that the other solutions do the same. But I have included the code generator. You can just add additional sections for your alphabet. I think that the more characters you have the less efficient it will get. But heck in some character sets each symbol represents an entire word so the whole proper case problem doesn't apply Also I doubt anyone uses every unicode character at once.
In above table, I want to change state value i. Please check below result screen. We have updated state code column using CASE expression. I hope that you will get an idea about how to use CASE expression. I hope you will enjoy these tips while playing with SQL Server. I would like to have feedback from my blog readers.
