UPPER, used to convert strings to uppercase, is the same in both MSSQL and MySQL.
UPPER converts a string to uppercase. It's similar to LOWER, which converts a string to lowercase.
Syntax:
UPPER(string)
Examples:
select UPPER('This is demo');
------------------------
THIS IS DEMO
select UPPER(name) from emp;
-------------------------
SMITH
JOHN
SCOTT
THOMAS

In MySQL, the same functionality is available with UPPER or UCASE — UCASE is a synonym for UPPER.
Syntax:
UPPER(string)
UCASE(string)
Example:
mysql> select UPPER('This is Demo');
+-----------------------+
| UPPER('This is Demo') |
+-----------------------+
| THIS IS DEMO |
+-----------------------+
mysql> select UCASE('This is Demo');
+-----------------------+
| UCASE('This is Demo') |
+-----------------------+
| THIS IS DEMO |
+-----------------------+
