title: Java: How to convert MySQL DECIMAL(39,0) IP address to String
body: <p>So I'm told that the DBAs here are going to be storing IP addresses in a DECIMAL(39,0) field in our MySQL database.</p>
  
  <p>How can I go about translating that into a String to pass on to our other applications?</p>
  
  <p>Note: Our databases can't take any more load, so as much of the work as possible needs to be done in the Java application.</p>
  
  <p>Note2: IPv6 support is a must.</p>
