Is There An Easy Way To Changes Existing Data In A Table To Uppercase, Or Do I Have To Create Some Stored Procedure?

THANKS!
 
Well, you could do something like this:

update table_name
set column_name = upper (column_name)

If the table is really huge, you'll need to break this up into blocks and you'll need to consider setting the log to truncate on checkpoint.

HTH,

John
