I have a query that pulls employee names from a db but the names are stored without any kind of checking for capitalization.

Ex.
last first m
LAST FIRST M
last First m

I would like to be able to display all of them as:

First M Last

Any help would be appreciated.

If possible, use your presentation layer to Init-capitalise the words and rearrange them
