Is there a "BCP" (convention, whatever) for storing IPv6 addresses
into SQL databases? Particularly where you need to mix them with IPv4
addresses.
I know postgresql has an ipv6 type but I was hoping for something more
portable. The best I could come up with was packed decimal(39) and
assume that if more than 32 bits are set it's IPv6 (ignoring the
special case of all zeros etc.) The other would be to just use 4
unsigned long ints similarly but it makes comparison and other ops
clunky.
