Re: cidr question (resent)

There are some operators that you can use.

col1 << col2    BOOLEAN indicating if col1 is a subnet of col2
col1 <<= col2   BOOLEAN indicating if col1 is equal or a subnet of col2
col1 >> col2    BOOLEAN indicating if col1 is a supernet of col2
col1 >>= col2   BOOLEAN indicating if col1 is equal or a supernet of col2
