PostgreSQL模仿Oracle的instr函数

--
-- instr functions that mimic Oracle's counterpart
-- Syntax: instr(string1,string2,[n],[m]) where [] denotes optional parameters.
--
-- Searches string1 beginning at the nth character for the mth occurrence
-- of string2. If n is negative,search backwards. If m is not passed,
-- assume 1 (search starts at first character).
--
