If S1 is of length zero, then it occurs at position 1 (one) for any value of S2. If S1 does not occur in S2, then zero is returned. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
