hi guys, i'm not finding a function to return how many character i have, for example:

"banana"

i want a function that return 2 "n" characters, example: substr_count("banana","n") => 2

sorry it a begginners question, but i didn't found it in mysql/mariadb manual

that is not the job of the database server because it can't use indexes for such things - just iterate the result and do it in the application
