Hello,

I am trying to extract ip addresses from golite by joining two tables as posted below. 

Running the queries individually and using a limit on the golite ip db results are back immediately 1-2ms but when using the first query it takes 2-3 seconds.

Is there a way to use a limit in the join?

Thanks for any advice on this.

SELECT S.referrer_ip,
       I.geoname_id
FROM viewing_stats AS S LEFT JOIN geolite_city_ip4 AS I ON (S.referrer_ip::inet <<= network)
WHERE viewing_id=74;

  referrer_ip   | geoname_id
----------------+------------
 111.93.173.230 |    1269750

SELECT geoname_id,network FROM geolite_city_ip4 WHERE '111.93.173.230'::inet <<= network LIMIT 1;
