Hi all.

How do you add two strings in sql?

I have a name field in one of my tables and all the names are in uppercase
(like "FREDRIK").
I want to get the names in the usual format (First letter capitalized)
"Fredrik". How
do I do that?

I've tried:

SELECT SubStr(fname,1,1) + Lower(SubStr(fname,2,100)) FROM employee;

But '+' doesn't seem to work.

If you can't concatenate two strings, any other idea how to do this?
