Answer 1

Not smart, but I think you could do this:

SELECT 
  id, 
  LEAST(
    Locate('0',myWord),
    Locate('1',myWord),
    Locate('2',myWord),
    Locate('3',myWord),
    Locate('4',myWord),
    Locate('5',myWord),
    Locate('6',myWord),
    Locate('7',myWord),
    Locate('8',myWord),
    Locate('9',myWord)
  ) as myPos
FROM myTable;
