I have a MySQL table setup as follows:
+---------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+---------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| ipaddress_s | varchar(15) | YES | MUL | NULL | |
| ipaddress_e | varchar(16) | YES | | NULL | |
+---------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
where, ipaddress_s and ipaddress_e look something like: 4.100.159.0-4.100.159.255
Now is there a way I can actually get the row that contains a given IP address? For instance, given the IP address: "4.100.159.5", I want the above row to be returned. So I am trying for a query that looks something like this (but of course this is wrong because in the following I am considering IPs as strings):
SELECT * FROM ranges WHERE ipaddress_s<"4.100.159.5" AND ipaddress_e>"4.100.159.5"
Any suggestions?
