SQL LOWER() Function
SQL LOWER() function is used to convert character string from upper case to lower case.
Syntax
LOWER (CharacterString)
Below is an example converting small letter character string to upper case.
SELECT LOWER('SQLServerLog.com') AS MyWebsite
Upper case letter string ‘SQLServerLog.com’ is converted to lower case letter ‘sqlserverlog.com’ by using LOWER() function. In this manner you can use this function to compare strings or for application requirements.
We will take one example from Student table as shown below. Here we are converting FirstName column to lower case letters.
SELECT LOWER(FirstName) AS LowerFirstName, FirstName FROM Student
If you will compare two columns, FirstName and LowerFirstName both columns have same name but we have used LOWER() function in first column to get the FirstName column in lower case.
