mySQL?
In Transact-SQL (Microsoft SQL Server) you can solve it this way:
DECLARE @table AS Table (name varchar(20));
INSERT INTO @table VALUES ('Microsoft'), ('microsoft');
-- With ASCII value check
SELECT *
FROM @table
WHERE ASCII(LEFT(name, 1)) = ASCII(LEFT(UPPER(name), 1))
-- With binary compare
SELECT *
FROM @table
WHERE LEFT(name, 1) COLLATE LATIN1_GENERAL_BIN = LEFT(UPPER(name), 1) COLLATE LATIN1_GENERAL_BIN
