ZipCode Table - City Field CAPS?

[hokiejill]

What is the best way to accomplish the following?

I would like the City field in the ZipCode table changed to all UPPER CASE. Currently, it’s upper/lower.

For example, Galax to GALAX.

Good day,

There is currently no method within the software to change the cities to all caps. I will consult development on this one.

In the meantime, you might consider changing your most popular zip codes to be CAPS using the Zip Code Mapping option under Standard Tables:

I've taken care of the most common cities.

Is there a way to run SQL scripts on this database to make mass changes?

What's the reason for wanting this?

The reason is standardization. We have all name and address in all caps for all of our databases and software systems (we use other software besides Manager Plus).

Gotcha

Yes there is - you would also want to update the customer address table to UPPERCASE.:
For the geeks out there the command are:

sqlcmd /E /S .\SHOPSTREAM -Q "UPDATE ShopMgt.SM.ZipCode SET [City] = UPPER(City)"
sqlcmd /E /S .\SHOPSTREAM -Q "UPDATE ShopMgt.SM.Addresses SET [City] = UPPER(City)"

Here is a link to a batch file that runs the commands for you, you have to run this on the host. No need to exit Manager. http://m1faqs.com/fix/SE/changetocaps.bat
