I'm having trouble using the position function, it's a simple built-in function.
It returns the index of a substring within a main string.
But, I just can't get it to work, it always gives this silly parser error.
I've tried it in a variety of ways with variables instead of constants casting
to text and using it in other contexts, (ie. in functions, not just in a
select). What am I doing wrong? Is this not the correct syntax for a two
argument function?
test=# select position('hello','el');
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near ","
