ORA-32766: instr with negative offset: use varchar semantics
on LOBs



ORA-32766: instr with negative offset: use varchar semantics on LOBs..

Answer / guest

Cause: The current varchar behavior is different. e.g.
instr('abcd', 'cd', -2, 1) returns 3, whereas
instr(to_clob('abcd'), 'cd', -2, 1) returns 0, (i.e. no
match), because the reverse search starts from offset -2,
which points to 'c' and moving backward, i.e. 'd' is
ignored. This is symmetric to instr('dcba','dc',2,1), which
returns 0.

Action: ORACLE uses the same varchar semantics on LOBs
(instr). Using the same example, instr(to_clob('abcd'),
'cd', -2, 1) will return 3 as in the varchar case.
