Firing User defined Function from Select, without using function name, is this possib

Hi all, Can anyone tell me if it is possible to fire a user defined
function in SQL Server directly from an ordinary select function.
Example:
I have a function fx_Str_Title_Case(varchar). (change string to title
case, caps first letter of each word in sentence).
At present I call this as follows:
SELECT fx_Str_Title_Case(aColumn) AS Result
FROM aTable
I wont to know if I can call this like this:
SELECT aColumn AS Result
FROM aTable
to get the same result?
ThanksPut your function in a view and query the view.

trigger the function based on constraints on the table or something
like.|||You can use a function in a constraint but constraints are referenced
only for updates, not for a SELECT.

CREATE TABLE Test(name VARCHAR(15), ProperName as (dbo.Proper(name)))
INSERT INTO Test Values('abc xyz')
INSERT INTO Test Values('abc XYZ aVC')
SELECT * FROM Test

Or in a computed column in the table.

function is beging "fired"?
