I'm writing some code now that uses the inet and cidr types and I find myself wanting a function that takes an argument of type inet and returns an integer, where:
255.255.255.255 => 32 255.255.255.254 => 31 255.255.255.252 => 30 255.255.255.248 => 29 255.255.255.240 => 28 ... 128.0.0.0 => 1 0.0.0.0 => 0 ...and returning NULL for all other IPv4 IPs. We have the netmask() function that performs this computation in the other direction, but in this case I am trying to go the other way. Anyone else think this would be a useful addition? Anyone have a good idea for a name? parse_netmask()? ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
