Convert to uppercase

I have a database with 50 tables that contains around 3,000 fields.

I need to convert all the data from all the fields into all uppercase.

Is this possible?

The UPPER() function will capitalize all letters in a field.

i do not think this would be possible ..
as the upper() function makes the respective field-contents to be of the uppercase.

such function could be an issue for further development in the MySql rdbms

I can't see there being enough demand for this type of process to build it into MySQL itself...
I would suggest writing a simple script/program to grab all the data from each table, convert it to uppercase, and update the data...
It not be the most efficient process, but I hope it isn't being done too often.

The point of upper() is that there's no reason for it to be uppercase in your database -- leave it like it is, and use upper() as you query your data out. Formatting of the raw data should be kept to a minimum.
