snowflake.snowpark.functions.initcap(e: Union[Column, str], delimiters: Union[Column, str] = None) → Column[source] (https://github.com/snowflakedb/snowpark-python/blob/v1.30.0/snowpark-python/src/snowflake/snowpark/functions.py#L2685-L2714)

Examples:

>>> df = session.create_dataframe(["the sky is blue", "WE CAN HANDLE THIS", "ÄäÖößÜü", None], schema=["a"])
>>> df.select(initcap(df["a"]).alias("initcap")).collect()
[Row(INITCAP='The Sky Is Blue'), Row(INITCAP='We Can Handle This'), Row(INITCAP='Ääöößüü'), Row(INITCAP=None)]
>>> df.select(initcap(df["a"], lit('')).alias("initcap")).collect()
[Row(INITCAP='The sky is blue'), Row(INITCAP='We can handle this'), Row(INITCAP='Ääöößüü'), Row(INITCAP=None)]
