\"Download<\/a>
\nThis is a complete USA and Canada Cities Database with Latitude and Longitude<\/a> containing 147,000+ cities and places of US and Canada. The size of the package is 4.8 megabyte zip file having 15 megabytes of SQL dumps when unzipped. The package contains CSV text file and readily executable SQL dump files to create and populate the US and Canada city database. Any other data format is available on request. The data is ready to be published on your content web site or application.<\/p>\n

Data Format:<\/strong>
\nThe package contains data in two formats: as SQL dump files and as CSV files. SQL Dump files are script files that can be readily executed from a SQL query tool such as MySQL query browser. The script will create required tables and populate with cities data.<\/p>\n

CSV files are comma delimited text files that can be readily imported in Microsoft Access or MS Excel. Although\u00a0Excel 2003 has limitation regarding number of records in one worksheet (65,535) you can split the CSV files into 3 parts and import into 3 excel worksheets. However, Excel 2007 or 2010 is able to import the CSV file in one go.<\/p>\n

Additional format such as TAB delimited text file, Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access database is available on request. A small fee for data conversion may be applicable. Please send your request to sales@ebusinessgems.com<\/p>\n

Tables and Columns:
\n<\/strong>The file “world-city-database-regions.sql” should be run first in order to create the tables and all entries but the cities. Subsequently run “us-canada-cities.sql” script to create the entries in CITIES table. The first script will create 4 tables namely CONTINENTS, COUNTRIES, REGIONS and CITIES. If you want you can just create CITIES table (as you are interested in only US and CANADA cities you may not need all the country and region names) and delete all other table definitions but remember that CITIES table use country codes and region codes that are defined in COUNTRIES and REGIONS table. Also, if you keep these extra table definitions in your database you will be able to\u00a0extend your database in future with records of other countries and cities available from this site.
