is there a way to have MYSQL server handle input masks?

When a person enters in data in lowercase, is there a way to have mysql server make everything uppercase?

I know that i can do this with JAVA or PHP, but i was just wondering if MYSQL can do it.

I'm using phpmyadmin to configure mysql...

thanks

UCASE(str) converts 'str' to uppercase. There is no way (afaik) to make mysql automatically converting all string inputs.
