Now imagine you a table with all the alphabets from A to Z(not case sensitive) having values from 1 to 26. Now what I want you to do is write a T-SQL (if possible without using cursor) to calculate the value of the “Name” by adding the value of its characters.

Example:
For Nobel the value would be: (N)14 +(O)15+(B)2+(L)12+(E)5 = 48
The characters are not case sensitive, so “Noble” = “noble”

We do not do your homework: it is set for a reason. It is there so that you think about what you have been told, and try to understand it. It is also there so that your tutor can identify areas where you are weak, and focus more attention on remedial action.

Try it yourself, you may find it is not as difficult as you think!
