INET_NTOA
Returns the dotted-quad representation of the address as a VARCHAR, given a network address as an integer in network byte order.
Behavior Type
Syntax
INET_NTOA ( expression )
Parameters
expression |
(INTEGER) is the network address to convert. |
Notes
The following syntax converts an IPv4 address represented as integer I to a string A.
INET_NTOA converts I from host byte order to network byte order using htonl, and calls the Linux function inet_ntop.
=> INET_NTOA(INT8 I) -> VARCHAR A
If I is NULL, greater than 2^32 or negative, the result is NULL.
Examples
=> SELECT INET_NTOA(16909060); inet_ntoa ----------- 1.2.3.4 (1 row) => SELECT INET_NTOA(03021962); inet_ntoa ------------- 0.46.28.138 (1 row)
