:us: SQL dump of U.S. cities data containing latitude and longitude

U.S. Cities Database

The SQL file has 29.880 registered cities. All cities are located in the United States.

The SQL file contains two tables:

• US_STATES: ID, STATE_CODE and STATE_NAME.

• US_CITIES: ID, ID_STATE, CITY, COUNTY, LATITUDE and LONGITUDE.

The US_CITIES table has all (or almost all) cities from the United States.

Compatibility

The us_cities.sql file is compatible with MySQL. See sqlite for the sqlite3 compatible version.
