General
The database format is known as Comma Separated Values (CSV). All fields are separated by a comma and each individual line is a record by itself.
IP2Location is also available in binary format which works together with the IP2Location API in several programming languages.

IP address (IPv4) is divided into 4 sub-blocks. Each sub-block has a different weight number each powered by 256. IP number is being used in the database because it is more efficient to search between a range of numbers in a database.
The Beginning IP number and Ending IP Number are calculated based on the following formula:
IP Number = 16777216*w + 65536*x + 256*y + z (1) where IP Address = w.x.y.z For example, if the IP address is "202.186.13.4", then its IP Number will be "3401190660", based on the formula (1). IP Address = 202.186.13.4 So, w = 202, x = 186, y = 13 and z = 4 IP Number = 16777216*202 + 65536*186 + 256*13 + 4 = 3388997632 + 12189696 + 3328 + 4 = 3401190660

IP address (IPv6) is divided into 8 groups of four hexadecimal digits with a colon as a group separator. Each group has a different weight number each powered by 65536. IP number is being used in the database because it is more efficient to search between a range of numbers in a database.
The Beginning IP number and Ending IP Number are calculated based on the following formula:
IP Number = (65536^7)*a + (65536^6)*b + (65536^5)*c + (65536^4)*d + (65536^3)*e + (65536^2)*f + 65536*g + h (1) where IP Address = a:b:c:d:e:f:g:h For example, if the IP address is "2001:0db8:0000:0042:0000:8a2e:0370:7334", then its IP Number will be "42540766411282594074389245746715063092", based on the formula (1). IP Address (in hexadecimal) = 2001:0db8:0000:0042:0000:8a2e:0370:7334 IP Address (in decimal) = 8193:3512:0:66:0:35374:880:29492 IP Number = (65536^7)*8193 + (65536^6)*3512 + (65536^5)*0 + (65536^4)*66 + (65536^3)*0 + (65536^2)*35374 + 65536*880 + 29492 = 5192296858534827628530496329220096*8193 + 79228162514264337593543950336*3512 + 1208925819614629174706176*0 + 18446744073709551616*66 + 281474976710656*0 + 4294967296*35374 + 57671680 + 29492 = 42540488161975842760550356425300246528 + 278249306750096353628526353580032 + 0 + 1217485108864830406656 + 0 + 151930173128704 + 57671680 + 29492 = 42540766411282594074389245746715063092

Firstly, convert the IP address to IP number format. Search using IP number to match a record that has the IP Number between the Beginning IP Number and the Ending IP Number.
For example, IP Address "72.77.138.60" is "1213041212" in IP Number. It matched the following recordset in the database.

First, import IP2Location database into MySQLm MS-SQL, MS-ACCESS, PL/SQL or other RDMS. Use an SQL query to get the matching recordset.
SELECT `ip_from`, `ip_to`, `country_code`, `country_name` FROM `ip2location_db1` WHERE INET_ATON([IP ADDRESS]) <= ip_to LIMIT 1

NOTE: Due to the fact that SQL Server does not support a number with more than 38 digits, we have to store the IP From and IP To fields as zero padded strings to enable sorting. Please visit this tutorial on how to add the padding, enable cluster index and make the query.
