Capitalize first letter of multiple words of a column without CAP_FIRST

Question

I have a table such as the below

    Name
    firstname lastname
    FirstName Lastname
    firstName Lastname
    FirstName lastname

I am trying to capitalize each letter of the firstname and lastname to be Firstname Lastname in all the 4 cases.

Any recommendations on the query without using the CAP_FIRST function? Can I use regex?

Answer 1

This is a query that works:

SELECT 
CONCAT(
    UPPER(SUBSTRING(Name,1,1)),
    LOWER(SUBSTRING(Name,2,Locate(' ', Name)-1)),
    UPPER(SUBSTRING(Name,Locate(' ', Name)+1,1)),
    LOWER(SUBSTRING(Name,Locate(' ', Name)+2)))
FROM NameTable;

This the result:

Name
Firstname Lastname
Firstname Lastname
Firstname Lastname
Firstname Lastname

To UPDATE column use,

UPDATE NameTable 
SET NameTable.Name = CONCAT(
    UPPER(SUBSTRING(Name,1,1)),
    LOWER(SUBSTRING(Name,2,Locate(' ', Name)-1)),
    UPPER(SUBSTRING(Name,Locate(' ', Name)+1,1)),
    LOWER(SUBSTRING(Name,Locate(' ', Name)+2)));
