# IS\_IPV4\_MAPPED

## Syntax

```sql
IS_IPV4_MAPPED(expr)
```

## Description

Returns 1 if a given a numeric binary string IPv6 address, such as returned by [INET6\_ATON()](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/sql-functions/secondary-functions/miscellaneous-functions/inet6_aton), is a valid IPv4-mapped address, otherwise returns 0.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Current" %}
When the argument is not [INET6](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/data-types/string-data-types/inet6), automatic implicit [CAST](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/sql-functions/string-functions/cast) to INET6 is applied. As a consequence, `IS_IPV4_MAPPED` now understands arguments in both text representation and binary(16) representation.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="< 10.5" %}
The function understands only binary(16) representation.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Examples

```sql
SELECT IS_IPV4_MAPPED(INET6_ATON('::10.0.1.1'));
+------------------------------------------+
| IS_IPV4_MAPPED(INET6_ATON('::10.0.1.1')) |
+------------------------------------------+
|                                        0 |
+------------------------------------------+

SELECT IS_IPV4_MAPPED(INET6_ATON('::ffff:10.0.1.1'));
+-----------------------------------------------+
| IS_IPV4_MAPPED(INET6_ATON('::ffff:10.0.1.1')) |
+-----------------------------------------------+
|                                             1 |
+-----------------------------------------------+
