On Snowflake, all of our listings come with their own unique UDTF (User Defined Table Functions) that is designed to enrich your IP database in the most efficient way possible. You should exclusively use these UDTFs if you are doing bulk IP data enrichment using our database.
Please refer to our IPinfo Snowflake documentation to learn more.

IP to Location Extended Database - Personalized database listing
Using the ip_location_extended UDTF for our IP to Geolocation Extended Database
The IP to Geolocation Extended Database is available on the All in One IP database listing or can be requested through our Personalized database listing. This database provides the accuracy radius field for each row of IP geolocation data.
Suppose the table containing the IP addresses is called LOGS , and the column containing the IP address is called IP . You can use the IP_LOCATION_EXTENDED UDTF included in your purchased IPinfo listing to enrich this IP log dataset.
SELECT *
FROM logs l
JOIN TABLE(ipinfo.public.ip_location_extended(l.ip))
Please note that ipinfo on the ipinfo.public.IP_LOCATION_EXTENDED can be different for you. It depends on the name you gave to our listing when you purchased it.
The UDTF format is:
SELECT <column_containing_ip_addresses>
FROM <input_table> <table.alias>
JOIN TABLE(ipinfo.public.<UDTF_name>(<table_alias.column_name>))
The UDTF will return the IP geolocation, geoname id for geonames.org and accuracy radius for IPs which includes:
- city
- region
- country
- latitude
- longitude
- postal_code
- timezone
- geoname_id
- radius
