Oracle中的INSTR,NVL和SUBSTR函数的用法详解

substr('This is a test', 6, 2)   would return 'is'
   substr('This is a test', 6)   would return 'is a test'
   substr('TechOnTheNet', -3, 3)   would return 'Net'
   substr('TechOnTheNet', -6, 3)   would return 'The'
 select substr('Thisisatest', -4, 2) value from dual
