[Quoted] I've been asked to create a field to hold IP addresses.  The request is for
data type INTEGER with length at least 32 bits.  I don't think INTEGER is
the proper data type to use because an IP address have several "periods"
in it (xxx.xxx.x.xxx). Shouldn't I use the VARCHAR2 data type ? Received on Tue Jun 01 1999 - 22:22:20 CEST
