Thread: status of IPv6 Support for INET/CIDR types
Hi, We are implementing a database for maintaining our IP addresses. Looking in the current documentation, it seems that INET/CIDR types only support IPv4 addresses until now, although http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2001-09/msg00236.php seems to suggest a patch for IPv6 has been ready for some time now. What is the status of IPv6 types at this moment? -- __________________________________________________ "Nothing is as subjective as reality" Reinoud van Leeuwen reinoud.v@n.leeuwen.net http://www.xs4all.nl/~reinoud __________________________________________________

Some merging of code from the BIND code and our IPv4 changes need to be made.
