Application of LOWER()
In the subsequent pages, we have discussed how to apply LOWER() with various SQL clauses. we have used Oracle 10g Express Edition.
Example:
If we want to get the string 'TESTING FOR LOWER FUNCTION' in lower case from the DUAL table, the following SQL statement can be used :
SELECT LOWER('TESTING FOR LOWER FUNCTION')
AS Testing_Lower
FROM dual;
In the above example, 'Testing_Lower' is a column alias which will come as a column heading to the output.
Output:
TESTING_LOWER -------------------------- testing for lower function

SQL Server SELECT into existing table.
INSERT INTO dbo.TABLETWO SELECT col1, col2 FROM dbo.TABLEONE WHERE col3 LIKE @search_key
This assumes there's only two columns in dbo.TABLETWO - you need to specify the columns otherwise:
INSERT INTO dbo.TABLETWO (col1, col2) SELECT col1, col2 FROM dbo.TABLEONE WHERE col3 LIKE @search_key
