Hey there, I currently have a database full of US states, counties, cities, and zip codes. I am looking for a country database that contains all major cities and regioons in the entire world. Does anybody know where I can find a database like this, possibly with statistical information in it? Sincerely, Travis Walters
The biggest geo-database (for cities) which I've ever seen was included with phpNuke (free CMS) You could export just the related tables (leaving the crappy CMS behind) No stats, just a huge number of locations.
Hey there, My business partner would not mind paying for quality information if somebody has it for a reasonable price. Please make me an offer and say what data fields are included. I would prefer CSV format, but would not mind an access database, just as long as it can be imported to my sql server. Gemini, thanks for that bit of information. +Rep for your assistance. Sincerely, Travis Walters
You know, I am half tempted just to make my own database from scratch. I would say there are about 350 established countries in the world. Statistical information can pretty easily be found on the net. I am just surprised this type of information is not readily available. You would think somebody would have created a nice database already that is available for distribution.
well if you take any community site you can extract the data in the csv format and later dump it into your database
