A SQL script to put Caltrain GTFS data (txt files) into a sqlite3 db.
Showing all the stop names and zone's:
SELECT DISTINCT stops.zone_id as Zone, stops.stop_name as Stop FROM stops WHERE stops.platform_code NOT NULL AND stops.platform_code == "NB";
Caltrain provides developers with a GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification) feed, which is a series of zipped text files. I wanted a simple way to put this data into a SQLite 3 database to make it easy to use in mobile applications. Feel free to use this as a starting point for your own project.
sqlite3 <db_name>.db < <path to create_tables>/create_tables.sql
Example creating a db named caltrain.db in the same folder as the create_tables.sql script:
sqlite3 caltrain.db < create_tables.sql
If you need the columns to be in different formats, just edit data types in the create_tables.sql script.
