Surprisingly, it was you a year ago:

I also would like to know what is the current status for pecl4windows and
how can we help.

You can get most of the extensions here: http://downloads.php.net/pierre/

About helping, well, if you have time (really have time) then let me
know. Some help is always welcome, especially for the web frontends
part.

--- Begin Message --- I have a MySQL file that is filled with information on the different woods of the world. In one column for the botanical species names, some of the first characters in each record are not capitalized when they should all be while many are properly capitalized.
I need to correct this. The database is "TAXA". The column is "species_name".

I have been using SQL statements through both phpMyAdmin and MySQL-front as front ends to the database. I get part way ok but need others help to understand why the final
step does not work as follows:
..........................................................................................................................

This statement faithfully reports the first character in the
species_name field:

SELECT UCASE(LEFT(species_name, 1)) from species;

This statement faithfully produces all other characters after the first
one in the specie_name field:

SELECT RIGHT(species_name, LENGTH(species_name)-1) FROM species;

When I run both together, there is no error:

SELECT UCASE(LEFT(species_name, 1)) FROM species;
SELECT RIGHT(species_name, LENGTH(species_name)-1) FROM species;

When I finally try to concatenate the first character back together
with the rest of the species name, it does not work:

SELECT CONCAT(
UCASE(LEFT(species_name, 1)) FROM species,
RIGHT(species_name, LENGTH(species_name)) FROM species
);

Instead, I get an error near FROM species, RIGHT(species_name, LENGTH(species_name)) FROM species

I know I must be close but cannot find out why this is not just working.

Also, when it finally reports the full species names correctly, does it matter if I add in a SET statement to finally replace the old entries or should I use an UPDATE command instead of SELECT? Does it matter?

I look forward to your suggestions.
