SQL UPPER() Function
SQL UPPER() function is used to convert character string from lower case to upper case.
Syntax
UPPER (CharacterString)
Below is an example converting small letter character string to upper case.
SELECT UPPER('sqlserverlog.com') AS MyWebsite
Small letter string ‘sqlserverlog.com’ is converted to ‘SQLSERVERLOG.COM’ by using UPPER() 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 upper case letters.
SELECT UPPER(FirstName) AS UpperFirstName, FirstName FROM Student
If you will compare two columns, FirstName and UpperFirstName both columns have same name but we have used UPPER() function in first column to get the FirstName column in upper case.
