Returns first starting index of the specified substring within string, or zero if it's not present. Position ( substring text IN string text ) → integer Overlay('Txxxxas' placing 'hom' from 2 for 4) → Thomas If count is omitted, it defaults to the length of newsubstring. Replaces the substring of string that starts at the start'th character and extends for count characters with newsubstring. Overlay ( string text PLACING newsubstring text FROM start integer ) → text

Since this version of the function accepts type character directly, it will not strip trailing spaces. Octet_length('josé') → 5 (if server encoding is UTF8) This function can only be used when the server encoding is UTF8. The optional form key word specifies the form: NFC (the default), NFD, NFKC, or NFKD. Returns number of characters in the string.Ĭonverts the string to all lower case, according to the rules of the database's locale.Ĭonverts the string to the specified Unicode normalization form. Returns number of bits in the string (8 times the octet_length).

Note that checking for normalization using this expression is often faster than normalizing possibly already normalized strings. This expression can only be used when the server encoding is UTF8. Text IS NORMALIZED → booleanĬhecks whether the string is in the specified Unicode normalization form. If you want to concatenate an array's text equivalent, cast it to text explicitly.) (The non-string input cannot be of an array type, because that would create ambiguity with the array || operators. Converts the non-string input to text, then concatenates the two strings.
