Subject: data type for storing IP address?


Hello,

PostgreSQL offers data types for storing IPv4, IPv6, and MAC network
addresses.  Does Oracle yet have a similar data type that understands IP
addresses (and/or IP address ranges such as "192.168.0.0/16") so that
greater-than, less-than, between, and other comparisons can be made?

Thanks,
Suzy
