How to get the first letter alone in Upper case?

Hi all,
Sorry if i am posting this one as a clone. I want the first letter alone in UPPER case in the given data. Is there any specific SQL function to do it or can we do it in REGEXP?
I have tried with this below one query.
select Upper(substr('oracle code',1,1))||substr('oracle code',2) from dual;
Oracle code
Is anything better than this in performance wise? If so please help me.
Thanks,
Ram

Hi,
what if the string is like this
SELECT INITCAP(substr('oracle code Error ', 1, instr('oracle code Error ', ' '))) ||
substr('oracle code Error', instr('oracle code Error ', ' '), length('oracle code error '))
FROM dual;

What do you mean there was "no effect?" I'm not aware of any effects.
It looks like that Service is also in the App Store. From their screen shots, the services are prefaced with WordService:
You can see an example in the App Store for their app: App Store
After installing, you should now have those text services in your Services menu. You can then add shortcuts in the Keyboard System Prefs.
Most Apple apps have a Transformations menu in the Edit menu. You can Make upper, lower, and Initial caps with those. I would stick with Word Services, but you can make Application Shortcuts for the items in the Transformations menu.
Again, in Keyboard System Prefs, Under Applications, Click the Add button on the right side pane.
Set it for All Applications
Enter the menu command exactly as they appear in the Transformation menu (separate entries for each),
Make Upper Case
Make Lower Case
Capitalize
Give them a shortcut.

How to get the first day in the month from a domain date ?

Hi,
I like to know how to get the first day in the month from a domain date?
Thanks
Stephen

Hi Gokul...
Instead of using the funtion module you can just write the 3 statements of code to get the first day of the week.
Its similar to the above one but instead of writing case statement you can achive the following.
data : w_res type i,
w_data type d,
w_res = w_date mod 7.
w_date = w_date - w_res.
write w_date.
This works.

Apple Mail - how to get the first word in a sentence to auto-capitalize

How to get the first word in a sentence to auto-capitalize
Anwar

something to look forward to then, because we get used not to use our shift button any more, since iPhone and iPad do it for us. entourage and other ms stuff do it. pages does it too now (put it on in the auto-correct in preferences). bizarre however some loose the capitalization when you copy the text. pages to stickies or mail does not. that's good !

How to Capitalize the first letter in a text field?

I have a text field of first_name and one of last_name. I want to make sure not matter what format the user inputs the the first letter is Capitalized and the rest is lower case. Can someone tell me how this is done? Thanks!

It depends on what you want to do with the name. If this is for inserting the name in a database and you're using PHP, it's very simple:
$name = 'DaVID';
$formatted = ucfirst(strtolower($name));
echo $formatted; // outputs 'David'
This nests two functions: the inner function, strtolower(), converts everything to lowercase, and the outer function, ucfirst(), converts the first letter to uppercase.

How to Capitalize the First Letter in Every Word in Mysql

Hi,
I have been trying to tidy up a massive database where visitors have been sloppy when entering text. The main thing I want to do is to Capitalize The First Letter In Every Word In Mysql.
I have found the code below in PHP but it keeps finding an error on the WHILE line:
<?php ini_set('display_errors', '1'); ?>
<?php require_once('Connections/maison_connection.php'); ?>
<?php
$result = mysql_query ("SELECT column, id FROM table");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $row["id"];
$column2 = ucwords($row["column"]);
$query2 = "UPDATE table SET column = '$column2′ WHERE id = '$id'";
mysql_query($query2);
?>
My table is called MailingList and the Column is called Name, so I have altered the script to this: but it still shows the same WHILE error:
<?php ini_set('display_errors', '1'); ?>
<?php require_once('Connections/maison_connection.php'); ?>
<?php
$result = mysql_query ("SELECT Name, id FROM MailingList");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $row["id"];
$Name2 = ucwords($row["Name"]);
$query2 = "UPDATE MailingList SET Name = '$Name2′ WHERE id = '$id'";
mysql_query($query2);
?>
Any ideas??

I got it to work this way in SQL: I am SURE there is an abbreviated way to do it, but at least it works
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," a"," A");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," b"," B");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," c"," C");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," d"," D");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," e"," E");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," f"," F");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," g"," G");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," h"," H");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," i"," I");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," j"," J");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," k"," K");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," l"," L");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," m"," M");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," n"," N");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," o"," O");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," p"," P");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," q"," Q");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," r"," R");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," s"," S");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," t"," T");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," u"," U");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," v"," V");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," w"," W");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," x"," X");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," y"," Y");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," z"," Z");

How to get the full path or name of the Layer to which Filter is applied?

Hi All,
I have created a layer using some background image as source. How to get the name or ful path of the background image?
I checked the documentation and found GetPathNameProc(SPPlatformFileSpecification*) function, but I couldn't get the parameter SPPlatformFileSpecification*.
Is there any other way to get the file path of background layer in my custom filter?
Thanks,
Dheeraj

If this is a client side application then I'd say look into drag-n-drop tutorials.
i.e. drag file to your application, action listener fires, create File object giving you full name and path of users action.
If this is a web application then look into the "multipart/form-data" content type specifications on how to upload files.
i.e. user specifies file from <input type='file' ... /> type, submits, servlet receives data and recreates file locally on application server side.
If you are thinking that all you need to send a file to a program is the full path and name in a textbox its a little bit more complicated then that.
Good luck, hope that helps!

How to get the first month of the year inputed by user manually

Hi Expert,
Just like the subject, I 'd like to get the first month of the year inputed by user manually, but don't know how to set the variable, please help.
For example, user execute a query and input the value of variable Year = 2010, and what I want to get is 201001 into another variable, so that I can use this variable to setup another selection.
Thank you.
Andy

Hi Andy,
1) U will create a user input varaible for year and say it is ZYEAR.
2) U will create another variable for calmonth which has processing type : customer exit ..single value ...mandatory ....say ZCMONTH.
This needs to be populated using the year( user inputted ) and calmonth '001'
This code will fetch the user input value into ZYEAR and append '001' to the user input value and the value
will be passed to the ZCMONTH varaible...
Sample Code is....
When 'ZCMONTH'.
IF I_STEP = 2.
     READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE WITH KEY VNAM = 'ZYEAR'.
     IF SY_SUBRC = 0.
                L_S_RANGE-LOW = I_T_VAR_RANGE-LOW.
               L_S_RANGE-LOW+4(3) = '001'.
              L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
             L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
                  APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.

I believe this is possible using the security APIs. See http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/PLSQL/DOC/PLDOC_9026/INDEX.HTML and look for person_info (Returns user information, given a user name)
under wwsec_api
