MSSQL IP addresses Update to Binary (32) - tsql

Question

I have problem to convert my IP addresses (in table as varchar) to binary (32) format
I have table
NETWORKS
Network_IP Network_IP_in_binary subnet_of_IP subnet_of_IP_in_binary
24.55.186.203 NULL 23 NULL
24.55.185.203 NULL 45 NULL
24.55.184.203 NULL 74 NULL
24.55.181.203 NULL 45 NULL
24.55.183.203 NULL 78 NULL
... ... ... ...
select / function / update
--DECLARE #ipd as varchar(200)
--SET #ipd = (SELECT [Network_IP] FROM [Database].[dbo].[Networks] WHERE [Network_IP] = #IPd)
declare #ip varchar(200)
declare #address varchar(200)
set #address =
--#ipd
'24.55.186.203'
set #ip = parsename(#address,1)
DECLARE #Binary VARCHAR(200)
SET #Binary = ''
WHILE #IP <> 0
BEGIN
SET #Binary = SUBSTRING('0123456789', (#IP % 2) + 1, 1) + #Binary
SET #IP = #IP / 2
END
SET #IP = parsename(#address,2)
WHILE #IP <> 0
BEGIN
SET #Binary = SUBSTRING('0123456789', (#IP % 2) + 1, 1) + #Binary
SET #IP = #IP / 2
END
SET #IP = parsename(#address,3)
WHILE #IP <> 0
BEGIN
SET #Binary = SUBSTRING('0123456789', (#IP % 2) + 1, 1) + #Binary
SET #IP = #IP / 2
END
SET #IP = parsename(#address,4)
WHILE #IP <> 0
BEGIN
SET #Binary = SUBSTRING('0123456789', (#IP % 2) + 1, 1) + #Binary
SET #IP = #IP / 2
END
SELECT right('000000000000000000000000000000' + cast(#Binary as varchar),30)
I need table like this, but
I fail to setup declaration of select or update for more then one address
then I fail to figure out Update of table network
then i fail put subnet of_of_IP address into binary format
last thing I fail is update of table network and set binary format in to right column.

I read articles on sites:
SQL to find IP Address in Subnet
Datatype for storing ip address in SQL Server
But I can not figure out updates from them.

Though I agree with Panagiotis's comment, and with the accepted answer in the question you've linked to (that is, store the IP as binary(4) and not as text), You might not be in a position to decide these things (I see a lot of questions about how to work with databases that can't be changed even though an alternate design would solve all the problems) -
So, to convert an IPv4 address to a string representation of a binary value, you can use a series of bit operations to create that string, for each of the 4 parts of the IP address:
CREATE FUNCTION TinyIntToBinaryString(#value tinyint)
RETURNS CHAR(8)
AS
BEGIN
RETURN CAST(SIGN(#value & 128) as char(1)) +
CAST(SIGN(#value & 64) as char(1)) +
CAST(SIGN(#value & 32) as char(1)) +
CAST(SIGN(#value & 16) as char(1)) +
CAST(SIGN(#value & 8) as char(1)) +
CAST(SIGN(#value & 4) as char(1)) +
CAST(SIGN(#value & 2) as char(1)) +
CAST(SIGN(#value & 1) as char(1))
END
This will return a string representation of the binary value of any number between 0 to 255 - so 3 will return 00000011, and 174 will return 10101110.
Now that you have that, you can use it to convert the entire IP address to it's binary string representation:
DECLARE #IP varchar(15) = '24.55.186.203'
SELECT dbo.TinyIntToBinaryString(PARSENAME(#IP, 4)) +
dbo.TinyIntToBinaryString(PARSENAME(#IP, 3)) +
dbo.TinyIntToBinaryString(PARSENAME(#IP, 2)) +
dbo.TinyIntToBinaryString(PARSENAME(#IP, 1))
Will result with 00011000001101111011101011001011
Of course, you can create a function that will convert the entire IP string representation for you - I'll leave that up to you to write.
