Proper Case the data in the Table

,

Persons Names,Addresses or any other master information if not entered with proper case . I mean if some records are with All caps ,some with all small or any other combination.You may be able to convert this data to proper case. Which will help you to show it in better looks on websites or in the reports.
You give two parameters "table name" and "column name of same table" of which to want to proper case the data
