Combine INSTR and SUBSTR together

 
SQL>
SQL>
SQL> SELECT SUBSTR("aaa, bb ccc", INSTR("aaa, bb ccc",", ")) FROM dual;
SUBSTR("
--------
, bb ccc



Get the sub string position by using instr

  
SQL>
SQL> select instr( "Samantha", "man" ) position from dual;
  POSITION
----------
         3
1 row selected.
SQL>
SQL> --



If search pattern is not in the string, the INSTR function returns 0

 
SQL>
SQL>
SQL> -- If search pattern is not in the string, the INSTR function returns 0:
SQL>
SQL> SELECT INSTR("This is a test","abc",1,2) FROM dual;
INSTR("THISISATEST","ABC",1,2)
------------------------------
                             0



If the INSTR pattern is not found, then the entire string would be returned
