# Capitalize All The Words
PostgreSQL provides the string function `initcap()` as a way of capitalizing
all words. In the process, it cleans up the casing of the remaining parts of
the words.
Here are some examples of how it works.
```sql
> select initcap('hello, world');
initcap
--------------
Hello, World
> select initcap('HELLO, WORLD');
initcap
--------------
Hello, World
```
See the [String Functions and Operators
docs](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/functions-string.html)
for more details.
