IPv6 on database websites

After reading www.postgresq.org now active over IPV6 by default I quickly tried some other host to see what the current state of IPv6 is for some known database websites.

$ getent hosts mysql.com percona.com askmonty.org postgresql.org oracle.com sqlite.org code.openark.org skysql.com drizzle.org
156.151.63.6    mysql.com
74.121.199.234  percona.com
173.203.202.13  askmonty.org
2a02:16a8:dc51::50 postgresql.org
137.254.16.101  oracle.com
67.18.92.124    sqlite.org
69.89.31.240    code.openark.org
94.143.114.49   skysql.com
173.203.110.72  drizzle.org




So only postgresql.org supports IPv6 right now. On the MySQL side Facebook is one of the known IPv6 users.

Are there any IPv6  database websites I forgot to include?



The World IPv6 Launch is June 6 2012, so there are still a few days left to enable IPv6!

  1. Mozilla is using ipv6 just ahead of the launch. http://blog.mozilla.org/it/2012/05/24/ipv6-is-here/
