INSTR() Equivalent in SQL Server
Many RDBMSs have an INSTR() function that enables us to find a substring within a string. Some (such as MySQL and MariaDB) also have a LOCATE() function and a POSITION() function (also supported by PostgreSQL), that do a similar thing.
SQL Server doesn’t have an INSTR() function. Nor does it have a LOCATE() or POSITION() function. But it does have the CHARINDEX() function that does the same thing.
SQL Server also has the PATINDEX() function, which does a similar job to CHARINDEX().
GROUP_CONCAT() Function in MySQL
MySQL has a GROUP_CONCAT() function that enables us to return columns from a query as a delimited list.
It returns a string result with the concatenated non-NULL values from a group.
LISTAGG() Function in Oracle
In Oracle, the LISTAGG() function enables us to combine data from multiple rows in to a single row.
We have the option of specifying a separator (such as a comma). We can also order the results produced by the LISTAGG() function, and more.
MariaDB GROUP_CONCAT()
MariaDB has a GROUP_CONCAT() function that enables us to return columns from a query as a delimited list.
STRING_AGG() Function in PostgreSQL
In PostgreSQL, we can use the STRING_AGG() function to return columns from a query as a delimited list.
How POSITION() Works in PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL has a POSITION() function that returns the first starting index of a specified substring within a string.
If the substring doesn’t exist in the string, then zero is returned.
