Given some model with a `GenericIPAddressField` field, I'd like to be able
to query for IP addresses which are contained within ranges expressed by
existing rows in the database (and also be able to do the inverse - query
for rows matching a range).
I'm not sure if this is something which databases other than Postgres
support natively though.
{{{#!python
class There(models.Model):
ip_address = models.GenericIPAddressField()
There.objects.create(ip_address='127.0.0.1/16')
There.objects.create(ip_address='1.1.1.1')
# I want this (or something like it) to return the first entry:
There.objects.get(ip_address__contains='127.0.0.2')
# Just like this does
There.objects.extra(where=("ip_address >> '127.0.0.2'",)).get()
# Similarly, I want this (or something like it) to return the second
entry:
There.objects.get(ip_address__contained_by='1.1.0.0/16')
# Just like this does
There.objects.extra(where=("ip_address << '1.1.0.0/16'",)).get()
}}}
Currently the first example here ends up using the naive interpretation of
`contains` -- surrounding the IP address with `%` and searching for that.
For this reason there may be a need to pick a different keyword.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/functions-net.html contains all the
operators which Postgres supports, it would be great if Django supported
them too.
Alternatively, if there's another way to achieve this which doesn't rely
on `QuerySet.extra` and which I've missed then I'd be happy to use that.
