ENTRY IN DATABASE WHERE CAPSLOCK IS USED. I WANT TO REMOVE THIS CAPS HERE.

To:

Entry in database where capslock is used. I want to remove this caps here.

With a script or anything withing sql. I have copied a database into another database, but alot of records contain fields with every character in capslock. Doing this by hand may take me some time since it contains like 50.000 rows +.

create function ProperCase(@Text as varchar(8000))
returns varchar(8000)
as
begin
   declare @Reset bit;
   declare @Ret varchar(8000);
   declare @i int;
   declare @c char(1);

   select @Reset = 1, @i=1, @Ret = '';

   while (@i <= len(@Text))
    select @c= substring(@Text,@i,1),
               @Ret = @Ret + case when @Reset=1 then UPPER(@c) else LOWER(@c) end,
               @Reset = case when @c like '[a-zA-Z]' then 0 else 1 end,
               @i = @i +1
   return @Ret
end
