Then create a few custom function to manipulate them. Ok, that would work for IPv4 addresses, but if I ever wanted to use IPv6 addresses, then I would have to go back to using blobs - as integers are limited to 64 bits in SQLite.

[sqlite] cidr data type
Hi, does SQLite have anything similar to PostgreSQL's cidr data type (see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/datatype-net-types.html). I would be particularly interested in being able to use a "contained in" operator in selects - in PostgreSQL you are able to do: select inet '192.168.18.52' << cidr '192.168.0.0/16'; What would be the preferred way to do it in SQLite? Currently, I am thinking of storing start and end IP addresses as a blob in the database - that way I would be able to use the "between" operator in selects, e.g. select X'c0a81234' between X'c0a8' and X'c0a8'; Are there any other/better ideas?
