Subject: IP Address Function?
Hi,
I need to make *allot* of queries from a application dealing with IP
Addresses. At the moment, I'm storing IP addresses as a VARCHAR(16). I
would *like* to store them as Integers by converting the IP to it's
numerical equivalent. I believe this would also save a enormous amount of
table space.
The problem is, I *must* do the conversion as part of my SQL Query.
Either during the SELECT/UPDATE/INSERT, or via a Procedure... And I must
obviously also be able to convert the Integer back into a IP address
during queries....
Is this at all possible???
It's all explained very nicely at
http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/IP2Integer.jsp But how to do this as
part of a query... *frown*
Any help appreciated...
Regards,
Chris.
