There are lots of string functions and operators:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/functions-string.html

There is definitely a replacement for Oracle’s instr(…).

Re: instr detail

Based om the definition of Oracle instr(), the equivalent PostgreSQL
function would be
position(substring in string).

See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/plpgsql-porting.html
particularly the "appendix" at the bottom. I'm not sure that code
is still the best way to do it (it's very old), but it's there.
