  1. Understanding core database concepts<\/em> — lots of theory<\/li>\n
  2. Creating database objects<\/em> — next week<\/li>\n
  3. Manipulating data<\/em> — what we have done in the past two weeks<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We have covered various T-SQL functions<\/a> for strings and numbers. For example, we covered a way to capitalize the first character of a-single-word field or variable (@word<\/tt> declared as a VARCHAR(10)<\/tt> and initialized as 'tImE'<\/tt>, in the example below).<\/p>\n

    DECLARE @word VARCHAR(10) = 'tImE';\r\n\r\nPRINT CONCAT (\r\n    UPPER(LEFT(@word, 1)),\r\n    LOWER(SUBSTRING(@word, 2, LEN(@word)-1))\r\n    );\r\n<\/pre>\n
