Hi, I'm Siqi Guo, a student from Peking University of China, I'm currently on the second year of my Master Degree studies.
Due to requirements of my research project, I've been studying and developing on PostgreSQL kernel since 2006, which helps me understand the whole framework of database. And I am very familiar with Postgre's design and implementation, especially for data representation and storage. Now I'm interested in the new GSoc project: *IPv4, IPv6, MACADDR Native Column Types*. I've gone through the discussion about "Revisiting ipv4<https://lists.launchpad.net/drizzle-discuss/msg06283.html>", I wonder whether this discussion has reached to an agreement. In my opinion, it is necessary to bring in IP types (fields), it is both convenient for users and cost-saving. That's also what Postgres did by introducing "macaddr", "inet" and "cidr" data types. I've set up environments and compiled Drizzle souce codes two weeks ago. Besides I've marked some possible modification points in drizzle codes, and will keep studying related parts. Any Suggestions?
