ANSI Compliance
This statement is ANSI SQL:2011 compliant.
Use POSITION instead of INDEX for ANSI SQL:2011 conformance. POSITION and INDEX behave identically except when the client character set is KanjiEBCDIC and the server character for an argument is KANJI1 and contains multibyte characters.
Use POSITION instead of MINDEX. (MINDEX no longer appears in this book because its use is deprecated. Its support ends when KANJI1 support ends.)
