SQL SERVER – UDF – Function to Convert Text String to Title Case – Proper Case

 Following function will convert any string to Title Case. I have this function for long time. I do not remember that if I wrote it myself or I modified from original source.

Run Following T-SQL statement in query analyzer:

SELECT dbo.udf_TitleCase('This function will convert this string to title case!')

The output will be displayed in Results pan as follows:

This Function Will Convert This String To Title Case!

T-SQL code of the function is:

CREATE FUNCTION udf_TitleCase (@InputString VARCHAR(4000) )
RETURNS VARCHAR(4000)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Index INT
DECLARE @Char CHAR(1)
DECLARE @OutputString VARCHAR(255)
SET @OutputString = LOWER(@InputString)
SET @Index = 2
SET @OutputString =
STUFF(@OutputString, 1, 1,UPPER(SUBSTRING(@InputString,1,1)))
WHILE @Index <= LEN(@InputString)
BEGIN
SET @Char = SUBSTRING(@InputString, @Index, 1)
IF @Char IN (' ', ';', ':', '!', '?', ',', '.', '_', '-', '/', '&','''','(')
IF @Index + 1 <= LEN(@InputString)
BEGIN
IF @Char != ''''
OR
UPPER(SUBSTRING(@InputString, @Index + 1, 1)) != 'S'
SET @OutputString =
STUFF(@OutputString, @Index + 1, 1,UPPER(SUBSTRING(@InputString, @Index + 1, 1)))
END
SET @Index = @Index + 1
END
RETURN ISNULL(@OutputString,'')
END

SQL SERVER – Fix : Error 1702 CREATE TABLE failed because column in table exceeds the maximum of columns

Q- What will be the result of the query below? Explain your answer and provide a version that behaves correctly. select case when null = null then 'Yup' else 'Nope' end as Result; Ans-This query will actually yield “Nope”, seeming to imply that  null  is not equal to itself! The reason for this is that the proper way to compare a value to  null  in SQL is with the  is  operator, not with  = . Accordingly, the correct version of the above query that yields the expected result (i.e., “Yup”) would be as follows: select case when null is null then 'Yup' else 'Nope' end as Result;
