Database table columns for storing IP addresses have 40 characters only. The ideal IPv6 address can have a length of 8* 4+ 9 = 39 characters. However, RFC5952 section 5 clearly mentions that the last 32bit can be represented in octets style (IPv4), which means an IPv6 address can be expressed as
1234:5678:9abc:def0:1234:5678:123.234.210.109

Currently IPv6 addresses with embedded IPv4 addresses are even recognized and accepted (in both 3.0.x and 3.1.x):

Solution is to increase all IP address columns from 40 up to 45 characters.
