I have a fellow DBA that has to do some data cleansing. He is looking for
some software that can properly init cap a last name, like McDonald.
Obviously, Oracle has an initcap function...
SQL> select initcap('GRABOWY') from dual;
INITCAP
-------
Grabowy
Elapsed: 00:00:00.50
SQL> select initcap('MCDONALD') from dual;
INITCAP(
--------
Mcdonald
Elapsed: 00:00:00.10
SQL>
But it does not recognize "special" names like McDonald, so I was wondering
if someone else has encountered this, and what their solution was??
TIA!!!
