Hi,
I am storing a log of HTTP requests in a database table (including
IP address):
http_log: id(PK), path, time, ip
I have another table that contains CIDR ranges and names for them:
network_names: id(PK), cidr, name
Some example data for both tables:
network_names:
1, 192.168.0.0/24, 'Engineering'
2, 192.168.1.0/24, 'Media'
3, 192.168.2.0/24, 'Engineering'
4, 192.168.3.0/24, 'Accounting'
5, 192.168.4.0/24, 'Engineering'
6, 10.0.0.0/8, 'Engineering'
http_log:
1, '/index.html', 110000001, 192.168.0.47/32
2, '/index.html', 110000023, 200.1.2.3/32
3, '/index.html', 110000059, 1.2.3.4/32
4, '/index.html', 110000232, 192.168.2.1/32
5, '/index.html', 113919102, 192.168.1.39/32
6, '/index.html', 129101293, 10.2.2.4/32
7, '/index.html', 132828282, 192.168.4.2/32
Now, in trying to produce a report on this data, I've come up
against an interesting (to me at least!) problem..
I basically want the same output as in http_log, but substituting
the IP with the network name where available, i.e:
1, '/index.html', 110000001, Engineering
2, '/index.html', 110000023, 200.1.2.3/32
3, '/index.html', 110000059, 1.2.3.4/32
4, '/index.html', 110000232, Engineering
5, '/index.html', 113919102, Media
6, '/index.html', 129101293, Engineering
7, '/index.html', 132828282, Engineering
I'm wondering what the best way of doing this is (considering that
http_log could have >100000 rows) Is it possible to somehow JOIN
using the <<= and >>= network operators? Or would I have to
iterate the network_names table manually with LOOP (or something)
on every row of the http_log?
If anyone can share some advice, that would be great!
