v.19.3New Features

Added Ipv4 and Ipv6 Data Types

Official CH changelog text
Added IPv4 and IPv6 data types. More effective implementations of IPv* functions. #3669 (Vasily Nemkov)
Introduced new data types IPv4 and IPv6 for efficient storage and handling of IP addresses, along with improved implementations of IPv* functions.

Why it matters

This feature addresses the need for specialized data types to store IPv4 and IPv6 addresses natively, enabling more efficient storage, processing, and querying of IP address data. Additionally, optimizing IPv* functions enhances performance and usability when working with IP data.

How to use it

Users can define columns with the new IPv4 or IPv6 data types in their tables. They can then utilize the enhanced IPv* functions in their queries to operate on these IP address columns more effectively.
