For this, you can use INET_ATON(). Let us first create a −
mysql> create table DemoTable1404 -> ( -> IpAddress varchar(40) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.02 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1404 values('192.168.120.0'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.43 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1404 values('192.168.120.20'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.60 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1404 values('224.0.0.0'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.42 sec)
Display all records from the table using select −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1404;
This will produce the following output −
+----------------+ | IpAddress | +----------------+ | 192.168.120.0 | | 192.168.120.20 | | 224.0.0.0 | +----------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to copy IP address from varchar column to integer in the same −
mysql> select inet_aton(IpAddress) from DemoTable1404;
This will produce the following output −
+----------------------+ | inet_aton(IpAddress) | +----------------------+ | 3232266240 | | 3232266260 | | 3758096384 | +----------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
No, let us prove that the conversion was successful or not −
mysql> select inet_ntoa('3232266240');
This will produce the following output −
+-------------------------+ | inet_ntoa('3232266240') | +-------------------------+ | 192.168.120.0 | +-------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.27 sec)
