Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
Im making a site which requires all states and their corresponding cities and all corresponding blocks in the cities in the db. The data is huge and I could not possibly type all those values. I copied it from some govt site and pasted it in notepad and wrote a vb code to write the sql.
These things are pretty common for many sites and I think it'll be a good idea where there is one dedicated IP for a world common db containing all relevant common tables so that anybody can use them for reading. Or even if a person doesn't want to link to the common IP atleast he can export the data from from it. Not only will it save time we can get correct info from one source.
Or is there such a db already ?
There is no site as such.
Just a public read-only db containing common entries for generalization.
If at all any org will do this like the W3C for example.
This is best I could find. But cant use their server. Need to download this and use on our own server.
