Comment: If start_position is 0, then substr treats start_position as 1 (ie: the first position in the string).
If start_position is a positive number, then substr starts from the beginning of the string.
If start_position is a negative number, then substr starts from the end of the string and counts backwards.
If length is a negative number, then substr will return a NULL value.
