Greetings,
Considering that this can be done:
network=# SELECT '0.0.0.0'::inet + 702545920;
?column?
------------
41.224.0.0
(1 row)
How can I perform an operation similar to this that works?
network=# select case when '41.224.0.0'::inet = 702545920 then true else false
end;
ERROR: operator does not exist: inet = integer
LINE 1: select case when '41.224.0.0'::inet = 702545920 then true el...

HINT: No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You might need
to add explicit type casts.
network=# select case when '41.224.0.0'::inet = 702545920::inet then true else
false end;
ERROR: cannot cast type integer to inet

I'm guessing that there is some internal postgres function that performs the
integer to IP address conversion in the first example, but I am at a loss to
identify it.
The reason I ask for this is that we have a dataset that contains ranges of IP
addresses, associated with countries, where the addresses are represented as
integers (bigints).
Thanks for the pointer.
