I have to store/search some IP data in Postgres 9.6 and am second-guessing my
storage options.
Would anyone mind giving this a quick look for me?
Right now I have two tables, and am just using cidr for both:
create table tracked_ip_address (
id SERIAL primary key,
ip_address CIDR not null
);
create table tracked_ip_block (
id SERIAL primary key,
block_cidr CIDR not null,
ownserhip_data TEXT
);
The types of searching I'm doing:
1. on tracked_ip_address, I'll search for neighboring ips.
e.g.
select * from tracked_ip_address where ip_address <<
'192.168'::CIDR;
select * from tracked_ip_address where ip_address <<
'192.168.1'::CIDR;
2. on tracked_ip_block, i search/join against the tracked_ip_address to
show known ips in a block, or a known block for an ip.
i used cidr instead of inet for the ip_address because it saved me a cast on
joins and appears to work the same. was that the right move? is there a
better option?
thanks in advance.
