These functions convert between signed 32 bit integers (with a -2^31
offset) and dotted quads. You should be able to tweak them pretty
easily:
create or replace function ip2int(text) returns int as '
DECLARE
a int;
b int;
c int;
d int;
BEGIN
a := split_part($1, ''.'', 1);
b := split_part($1, ''.'', 2);
c := split_part($1, ''.'', 3);
d := split_part($1, ''.'', 4);
RETURN (a-128) * 16777216 + b * 65536 + c * 256 + d;
END;
' LANGUAGE plpgsql IMMUTABLE;
create or replace function int2ip(int) returns text as '
DECLARE
a int;
b int;
c int;
d int;
BEGIN
a := (($1 >> 24) & 255) # 128;
b := ($1 >> 16) & 255;
c := ($1 >> 8) & 255;
d := $1 & 255;
RETURN to_char(a, ''FM999'') || ''.'' || to_char(b, ''FM999'') ||
''.'' || to_char(c,
''FM999'') || ''.'' || to_char(d, ''FM999'');
END;
' LANGUAGE plpgsql IMMUTABLE;
There's probably a neater way to do it via the inet (or ip4) data
types, but these functions should be easier to tweak to use bigint.
