title: Oracle SQL - Parsing a name string and converting it to first initial & last name
body: <p>Does anyone know how to turn this string: "Smith, John R"<br>
  Into this string: "jsmith" ?</p>
  
  <p>I need to lowercase everything with lower()<br>
  Find where the comma is and track it's integer location value<br>
  Get the first character after that comma and put it in front of the string<br>
  Then get the entire last name and stick it after the first initial.<br><br>
  Sidenote - instr() function is not compatible with my version<br><br>
  Thanks for any help!</p>
