What happens if the value of parameter 'count' in the MySQL SUBSTRING_INDEX() function is greater than the total number of delimiter occurrences?

If the value of parameter "count" is greater than the total number of delimiter occurrences, the MySQL SUBSTRING_INDEX() function will return the same string as the output. This can be demonstrated with the following example -

mysql> Select SUBSTRING_INDEX('My Name is Ram','a',3);
+-----------------------------------------+
| SUBSTRING_INDEX('My Name is Ram','a',3) |
+-----------------------------------------+
| My Name is Ram                          |
+-----------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

The above query returns the same string because 3 is greater than the total number of occurrences of the delimiter (i.e. "a") provided as parameter. There are only two "a"s in the string.
