After reviewing a number of past threads about the INET/CIDR mess, I have concluded that we should adopt the following behavior: 1. A data value like '10.1.2.3/16' is a legal INET value (it implies the host 10.1.2.3 in the network 10.1/16) but not a legal CIDR value. Hence, cidr_in should reject such a value. Up to now it hasn't. 2. We do not have a datatype corresponding strictly to a host address alone --- to store a plain address, use INET and let the mask width default to 32. inet_out suppresses display of a "/32" netmask (whereas cidr_out does not). 3. Given that CIDRs never have invalid bits set, we can use the same ordering rules for both datatypes: sort by address part, then by number of bits. This is compatible with what 7.0 did when sorting. It is *not* quite the same as what current sources do, but I will revert that change. I didn't see anyone objecting to this scheme in past discussions, but I also didn't see any clear statement that all the interested parties had agreed to it. Last chance to complain... regards, tom lane
