| id | ip_address |
+----+---------------------+
| 1 | 203.0.113.2 |
| 4 | 203.0.113.3 |
+----+---------------------+

plesk db 'select dp.param, dp.val, d.name from dom_param dp inner join domains d where dp.param="ip_addr_id" and dp.val="4" and dp.dom_id=d.id and d.htype not like "vrt_hst";'
+------------+------+------------------------+
| param | val | name |
+------------+------+------------------------+
| ip_addr_id | 4 | example.com |
+------------+------+------------------------+

plesk db "update dom_param set val=1 where param='ip_addr_id' and val=4;"
