Implementation of Oracle's INSTR function MySQL
In a migration project, the instr function of MySQL can only find whether the child string is in the parent string. Here I wrote one for migration. Of course, here I only focus on migration, and may not fully implement the details of the original function.
Oracle uses the following calls several times,
SQL> select instr ('this is belong to you, but not to me. ',' to ',) as pos from dual; POS ------------------ 16 used time: 00: 00: 00.00SQL> select instr ('this is belong to you, but not to me. ', 'to', 1, 2) as pos from dual; POS ------------------ 32 used time: 00: 00: 00.00SQL> select instr ('this is belong to you, but not to me. ', 'belong',-) as pos from dual; POS ------------------ 9 used time: 00: 00: 00.00SQL> select instr ('this is belong to you, but not to me. ', 'belong',-1, 2) as pos from dual; POS ------------------ 0 used time: 00: 00: 00.00
The results in MySQL are as follows,
mysql> select func_instr_oracle('This is belong to you, but not to me.','to',1,1) as pos;+------+| pos |+------+| 16 |+------+1 row in set (0.00 sec)mysql> select func_instr_oracle('This is belong to you, but not to me.','to',1,2) as pos;+------+| pos |+------+| 32 |+------+1 row in set (0.00 sec)mysql> select func_instr_oracle('This is belong to you, but not to me.','belong',-1,1) as pos;+------+| pos |+------+| 9 |+------+1 row in set (0.00 sec)mysql> select func_instr_oracle('This is belong to you, but not to me.','belong',-1,2) as pos;+------+| pos |+------+| 0 |+------+1 row in set (0.00 sec)
