SQL UCASE() Example

We have the following "Persons" table:

P_Id	LastName	FirstName	Address	City
1	Hansen	Ola	Timoteivn 10	Sandnes
2	Svendson	Tove	Borgvn 23	Sandnes
3	Pettersen	Kari	Storgt 20	Stavanger

Now we want to select the content of the "LastName" and "FirstName" columns above, and convert the "LastName" column to uppercase.

We use the following SELECT statement:

SELECT UCASE(LastName) as LastName,FirstName  FROM Persons

The result-set will look like this:

LastName	FirstName
HANSEN	Ola
SVENDSON	Tove
PETTERSEN	Kari
