[算法]求元音字母在单词中第一次出现的位置.

求元音字母['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']在单词中第一次出现的位置. 没有时,为'0',如:
you(= 2), by (= 0), translate (= 3), i (= 1), Other (= 1)等, 要求用SQL实现!

测试用例:

create table test (word varchar2(30));

insert into test values('A');
insert into test values('quick');
insert into test values('brown');
insert into test values('fox');
insert into test values('jumps');
insert into test values('over');
insert into test values('the');
insert into test values('laze');
insert into test values('dog');
insert into test values('by');
insert into test values('my');

我的方法：
SQL> SELECT WORD, DECODE(POS, LEN+1, 0, POS) MP FROM
  2  (SELECT WORD, VOWEL, MIN(DECODE(POS, 0, LEN+1, POS)) POS, LEN FROM
  3  (
  4  SELECT T.WORD, VW.VOWEL, INSTR(UPPER(T.WORD),VW.VOWEL) POS, LENGTH(T.WORD) LEN FROM
  5  TEST T,
  6  (          SELECT UPPER(SUBSTR(STR,ST+1,EN-ST-1)) VOWEL
  7                     FROM
  8                     (SELECT STR, DECODE(RN,1,0,INSTR(STR,SEP,1,RN-1)) ST ,
  9                             DECODE(INSTR(STR,SEP,1,RN), 0, LENGTH(STR)+1, INSTR(STR,SEP,1,RN)) EN
 10                             FROM
11                                     (SELECT ROWNUM RN, STR, SEP FROM
 12                                             (SELECT 'a/e/i/o/u' STR, '/' SEP FROM DUAL)
 13                                     CONNECT BY ROWNUM<=LENGTH(STR)-LENGTH(REPLACE(STR,SEP,''))+1
 14                                     )
 15                     ) WHERE SUBSTR(STR,ST+1,EN-ST-1) IS NOT NULL
 16  ) VW
 17  )
 18  GROUP BY WORD
 19  )
 20  /


WORD                                   MP

已选择12行。

hmxxyy的方法：
select word, instr(translate(lower(word), 'aeiou', 'XXXXX'), 'X') pos from test
