Solution 2

SQL

Declare @FirstChatCapital nvarchar(20)
Set @FirstChatCapital = 'codeproject'
Select upper(substring(@FirstChatCapital,1,1))+lower(substring(@FirstChatCapital,2,len(@FirstChatCapital)))

You can replace your table column name with @FirstChatCapital variable.

So basically what Solution 2 said, over ten years ago?

If you're going to resurrect an ancient question to post a new solution, make sure you have read the existing solutions, and that you are adding something new to the discussion. Otherwise, stick to answering new questions.

Posting what is essentially a copy of someone else's answer could be seen as plagiarism, which is not tolerated here, and would result in you being banned from the site.
