I have a column in two tables which contain the same values.
But the casing is different..some are capitalized and some are small.
its capitalized in one table and small in the other..so random!.

How do I make both of them in the same case?

Remember same data exists in the column in two different tables..but different casing.

Your problem is not the casing. Your actual problem is the you have 2 tables that have the same data in one of the columns. Normalize your data and your problem will self-correct.

Your database is suffering from some sickness (duplicate data) without you knowing the real cause, go see a doctor of "database normalization".
Yes, there is simple sql query to make the values in the 2 columns into same case, but no use. The problem is going to come back again, if the root cause is not tackled, i.e. "database normalization".

Solution 2

if you want to Display data in Upper case then use

select upper(Column_Name) from TbaleName

for lower

select lower(Column_Name) from TbaleName

for both table using join or where Condition
