The only concern I'd have with Dan Tow's solution for Oracle -- adding
AND ROWNUM=1 -- is that it doesn't shortstop the range scan in a
not-found condition, which can definitely happen in the original data
set. The nested subquery solution I posted before does.
Rerunning the earlier query I had for 198.168.0.1 (which isn't in the data set):
with rownum = 1, no subquery - 28109 CG's
with rownum = 1, with subquery - 6 CGs
without rownum = 1, with subquery - 6 CGs
It's an 8.8 million row IOT I'm searching, so telling it to stop when
it can't find a match anymore is an excellent idea. I think it should
be able to stop once the search_ip > end_ip, but it doesn't seem to on
its own.
