Table dropped.
SQL>
SQL> create table t as
  2    select 'SUPERCALAFRAJALISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS' as txt from dual union all
  3    select 'THISISMYVERYLONGNAME' from dual union all
  4    select 'SIMPLE 123' from dual
  5  /
Table created.
SQL> with chrpos as (select t.txt, SUBSTR(t.txt,x.rn,1) as chr, x.rn as pos
  2                  from   (select rownum rn from dual,t connect by rownum <= length(t.txt)) x, t)
  3  select txt, chr, cnt, ltrim(sys_connect_by_path(pos,','),',') as positions
  4  from (
  5        select c.txt, c.chr, c.cnt, c2.pos, row_number() over (partition by c.txt, c.chr order by c2.pos) as rn
  6        from (
  7              select c1.txt, c1.chr, count(*) cnt
  8              from chrpos c1
  9              group by txt, chr
10             ) c,
11             chrpos c2
12        where c2.txt = c.txt
13        and   c2.chr = c.chr
14       )
15  where connect_by_isleaf = 1
16  connect by txt = prior txt and chr = prior chr and rn = prior rn+1
17  start with rn = 1
18  order by txt, chr
