Abbreviation Function in Oracle

528611Aug 17 2006 — edited Aug 17 2006

Hi,
Do we have a function something like
Abbreviate(string value) , which abbreviates all the common words in value.
For example if I give

Abbreviate('Aliens Incorporation') and it returns 'Aliens Inc' .
Abbreviate('Aliens Limited') and it returns 'Aliens Ltd' .

I need a function which could apply common abbreviations.

does a function of this kind exist in oracle already ?

Many Thanks
