Example 5: This example uses the LCASE function with the SQL table
In this example, we are going to create a new table, which is to be used with the LCASE string function.
The syntax for creating the new table in the SQL database is as follows:
The following CREATE statement creates the Faculty_Info table:
The below INSERT queries insert the records of college Faculties in the Faculty_Info table:
The following SELECT statement displays the inserted records of the above Faculty_Info table:
Faculty_Id | Faculty_First_Name | Faculty_Last_Name | Faculty_Dept_Id | Faculty_Address | Faculty_City | Faculty_Salary |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1001 | ARUSH | SHARMA | 4001 | AMAN VIHAR | DELHI | 20000 |
1002 | BULBUL | ROY | 4002 | NIRMAN VIHAR | DELHI | 38000 |

1006 | AVINASH | SHARMA | 4002 | SARVODYA CALONY | DELHI | 28000 |
1007 | SHYAM | BESAS | 4003 | KRISHNA NAGAR | LUCKNOW | 35000 |
The following SELECT query uses the LCASE function with the Faculty_Last_Name column of the above Faculty_Info table:
This SQL statement converts the last name of each faculty in small letters:

---|---|
SHARMA | sharma |

ROY | roy |
SINGHANIA | singhania |

The following SELECT query uses the LCASE function with the Faculty_First_Name, Faculty_City, and Faculty_Address columns of those faculties whose faculty_Id is greater than 1002 in the above Faculty_Info table:
Output:
Faculty_Id | LCASE(Faculty_First_Name) | LCASE(Faculty_Address) | LCASE(Faculty_City) |
---|---|---|---|
1004 | saurabh | sector 128 | mumbai |
1005 | shivani | vivek vihar | kolkata |
1006 | avinashsarvodya | calony | delhi |
1007 | shyam | krishna nagar | lucknow |
The following SELECT query uses the LCASE function with the Faculty_Last_Name and Faculty_Address columns of those faculties whose faculty_Salary is greater than 30000 in the above Faculty_Info table:
Output:
Faculty_Id | Faculty_Last_Name | Faculty_Dept_Id | Faculty_Address | Faculty_Salary |
