| - | {{page>:sql_bar&nofooter&noeditbtn}} | ||
| - | ===== Description ===== | ||
| - | Find the position of string1 in string2. The POSITION function returns the position of a string (string1) within another string (string2). If string2 is of length zero, the result is 1. If string1 occurs as a substring within string2, the character position where string1 first occurs is returned. If neither of these conditions is true, the result is 0. The return data type is a 4-byte INTEGER. | ||
| - | String comparisons are case-sensitive. Use the UPPER and LOWER functions around string1 and string2 to produce a case-insensitive search. | ||
