use this regular expression:
'^[0-9]{1,3}(.[0-9]{1,3}){3}$'
warning: do not use "like" or "similar to".
proper way to use it:
select * from table where field ~ '^[0-9]{1,3}(.[0-9]{1,3}){3}$';
this regexp is not 100% fault proof - it will happily return rows like:
'300.999.998.7'
but for most of the cases it should be enough. if you need it to match
only ips, and filter out things like '300.999.999.999' - let me know.
