If you store the ip address as the INET datatype then you can use the INET operators to see if any arbitraty number of bits match, the first 3 bytes means the first 24 bits: SELECT '172.23.110.55'::inet << '172.23.110.1/24'::inet; ?column? ---------- t (1 row) SELECT '272.23.110.55'::inet << '172.23.110.1/24'::inet; ?column? ---------- f (1 row) See also: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/functions-net.html -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
