I just realized I could create a function that creates ProperCase in SQL.

CREATE FUNCTION TitleCase (@x varchar(7999))
RETURNS varchar(7999)
AS
BEGIN

   DECLARE @y int
   SET @y = 1

   SELECT @x = UPPER(SUBSTRING(@x,1,1))+LOWER(SUBSTRING(@x,2,LEN(@x)-1))+’ ‘

   WHILE @y < LEN(@x)
      BEGIN
        SELECT @y=CHARINDEX(‘ ‘,@x,@y)
        SELECT @x=SUBSTRING(@x,1,@y)+UPPER(SUBSTRING(@x,@y+1,1))+SUBSTRING(@x,@y+2,LEN(@x)-@y+1)
        SELECT @y=@y+1
      END
   RETURN @x
END
