I have the following stored procedure that converts IPs to 32-bit binary in TSQL. It works but is EXTREMELY slow (has only converted 8,400 in 40 minutes) - probably because it uses cursors. Does anyone have suggestions and/or a different approach to improve performance?
Here's an example: 1.1.79.129 is converted to 00000001.00000001.01001111.10000001
Thanks
