當(dāng)前很多應(yīng)用都適用字符串char(15)來(lái)存儲(chǔ)IP地址（占用16個(gè)字節(jié)），利用inet_aton()和inet_ntoa()函數(shù)，來(lái)存儲(chǔ)IP地址效率很高，適用unsigned int 就可以滿足需求，不需要使用bigint，只需要4個(gè)字節(jié)，節(jié)省存儲(chǔ)空間，同時(shí)效率也高很多。

如果IP列有索引，可以使用下面方式查詢：

mysql> select inet_aton('100.200.30.22');
+----------------------------+
| inet_aton('100.200.30.22') |
+----------------------------+
| 1690836502 |
+----------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from jackbillow where ip=1690836502;
+------------+------+
| ip | name |
+------------+------+
| 1690836502 | D |
+------------+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select inet_ntoa(ip),name from jackbillow where ip=1690836502;
+---------------+------+
| inet_ntoa(ip) | name |
+---------------+------+
| 100.200.30.22 | D |
+---------------+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

對(duì)于LIKE操作，可以使用下面方式：

mysql> select inet_ntoa(ip) from jackbillow;
+----------------+
| inet_ntoa(ip) |
+----------------+

| 200.100.30.241 |
| 24.89.35.27 |
| 100.200.30.22 |
| 192.168.1.100 |
| 192.168.1.20 |
| 192.168.2.20 |
+----------------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select inet_aton('192.168.1.0');
