Does anyone know where I could find a complete city and state database
for MySQL?
I've looked at the Zip Code data on the census website, but don't know
the best approach to get a .dbf file into MySQL. Preferably someon has
already done this?
Thanks, Greg

Data for city/state/country/zip codes etc., change so frequently that it is
best to get the data from a commercial product, including a subscription to
updates. Otherwise your database will be outdated within a month. There
are numerous commercial providers, for example:
http://www.zip-codes.com/zip_database.asp
Price: 12 month subscription for $39.95. In MS Access, MS Excel, and CSV
formats.
This is just the first such vendor that came up in a Google search. I don't
know how many others there are, or whether this is the best price. But I
would assume that any better price is at most $39.95 better than this one.

MySQL AB offers a tool called Migration Toolkit, but I can't find any
reference to .DBF support in its documentation.
Intelligent Converters has a product they call MySQL Migration Toolkit that
says it converts .DBF to MySQL databases. Price: $89. http://www.convert-in.com/sqlkit.htm
EMS Software Development has a product they call EMS Data Import for MySQL
that also says it support import from .DBF files. Price: $45 for Linux, $65
for Windows. http://www.sqlmanager.net/en/products/mysql/dataimport
There are probably others. I found these by a Google search for keywords
"mysql migration dbf".
You could also convert the DBF file to CSV using any number of free tools
(Google for "dbf csv convert") and then use MySQL's builtin LOAD DATA INFILE
statement to read the CSV.

hi
In the registration form I have city, state, country fields. I was
wondering if there was a database available on the net which has the
list of states in each of the countries. That way when a user selects
a country I could automatically populate the state drop down menu
Any help is appreciated

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
