Dear Users,

 

I am very new to using the inet data type and I have a database with a list
of CIDRs in it

And I was hoping to be able to do some kind of select statement that would
pull the record

That the IP given is located in for example. If in my database I have a
record like:

 

Id          cidr                   name

1          10.0.0.0/30        user1

2          10.0.0.4/30        user2

3          10.0.0.8/30        user3

 

I was hoping to be able to do something like:

Select * from mytable where cidr <<='10.0.0.5'

 

And the database would return only record 2 since it knows that 10.0.0.5 is
contained only within record 2.

I can't seem to figure out the correct syntax to make this type of query
happen. Any help would greatly

Be appreciated.
