upper, a string function, converts lowercase to uppercase, returning a character value.
If char_expr or uchar_expr is NULL, upper returns NULL.
Characters that have no upper-ase equivalent are left unmodified.
If a unichar expression is created containing only half of a surrogate pair, an error message appears and the operation is aborted.
