All you have to do is modify the arguments to take in a length:

CREATE FUNCTION CAP_FIRST (input VARCHAR(255), maxLength int)

and then add an if:
IF LENGTH(InputString) > maxLength THEN
SET InputString = CONCAT( LEFT(InputString,Last_Word),
END IF

is it possible to modify the script to accept an additional parameter for capitalizing words that are longer than X characters? The script by Stefano doesn’t work

Thanks

DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS Capitalize$$

CREATE FUNCTION Capitalize (InputString VARCHAR(255)) RETURNS VARCHAR(255) CHARSET utf8
BEGIN
DECLARE Input_Length INT;
DECLARE Count INT;
DECLARE Last_Word INT;
DECLARE Min_Char INT;

SET Input_Length = CHAR_LENGTH(InputString);
SET InputString = LOWER(InputString);
SET Count = 0;
SET Last_Word = 0;
SET Min_Char = 3;

WHILE (Count Min_Char) THEN
SET InputString = CONCAT( LEFT(InputString,Last_Word),
UPPER(MID(InputString,Last_Word + 1,1)),
RIGHT(InputString,Input_Length – Last_Word – 1));
END IF;
SET Last_Word = Count;
END IF;
SET Count = Count + 1;
END WHILE;

RETURN InputString;
END$$

DELIMITER ;

It it possible to apply this to an entire column inside a table? In a table, I have a column with a string inside it, and I need to capitalize the first letter of every word.

Is this possible using your function?

Thanks,
