> Need a trick to sort ip addresses into numerical order.
Something a little different (not tested, so might need a little
adjustment).
---------- go.ksh -------------
#!/usr/bin/ksh
{
sqlplus -s <<-XXX
/user/password
set feedback off heading off trimspool on
set pages 0
select ip_address from the_table;
} | /usr/bin/sort -nt . +1 +2 +3 +4
--------------------------------
You ... ummm ... didn't NEED this to be entirely within a database session
did you?
And the sort options use the letters "nt". I hope that is OK.
