title: oracle equivalent for position function in teradata
body: <p>Is there an equivalent function in Oracle to the POSITION function in teradata. <a href="http://www.sqlines.com/teradata/functions/position" rel="nofollow">http://www.sqlines.com/teradata/functions/position</a></p>
  
  <p>In Teradata this function returns the index position of the first character of a matched word. For instance:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT POSITION('Jose' IN 'San Jose');
     -- Result: 5
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm trying to find a similar function in Oracle. </p>
