Process Data

After the data has been successfully imported, execute the script below

update ip2location_db3_ipv6 set
ip_from = (REPLICATE('0', 39 - LEN(ip_from)) + ip_from),
ip_to = (REPLICATE('0', 39 - LEN(ip_to)) + ip_to);

Again, this process will take some time depending on the machine power.Image Removed
