All - We're using MySQL under Linux to store data collected during network tests. One of our columns store the integer representation (in network byte order) of an IP address.
Is there any current support in MySQL (or future planned support) to convert from the integer representation of an IP address to a dotted quad (e.g., 192.168.1.1) representation. Currently, we're doing this with a Perl script as part of our post test analysis. Ideally, I'd like to be able to see the dotted quad representation inside MySQL. We want to store the IP addresses as ints rather than chars (since it's more efficient to store as an int rather than the equivalent chars). Thanks, Mark
