INET and CIDR

Learn INET and CIDR in PostgreSQL through the exact construct, a dedicated example, a boundary case, and a mastery check.

10 min read • Beginner

INET and CIDR is an atomic PostgreSQL lesson inside Data Types. The example uses the specific syntax, command, API, instruction, or language rule named by this lesson.

Study the construct itself, then change one relevant input and predict the result before running it. That keeps this lesson focused on INET and CIDR rather than on generic PostgreSQL syntax.

Topic-specific example

postgresql-02-05.sql
sql Try It Live
SELECT '192.0.2.10'::inet << '192.0.2.0/24'::cidr;
Edge case / engineering note

Test INET and CIDR with an empty result, NULL/missing value, duplicate key, or concurrent operation where relevant; database behavior should be verified at the boundary shown by this example.
