# 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](./us_cities.sql) file is compatible with MySQL. See [sqlite](./sqlite) for the sqlite3 compatible version.

## Samples

## Export Data

You can use the following SQL command to export the data to a CSV file.

``` sql

SELECT

	US_CITIES.ID, US_STATES.STATE_CODE, US_STATES.STATE_NAME, US_CITIES.CITY, US_CITIES.COUNTY, US_CITIES.LATITUDE, US_CITIES.LONGITUDE

FROM

	US_STATES

INNER JOIN

	US_CITIES

ON

	US_STATES.ID = US_CITIES.ID_STATE

ORDER BY

	US_CITIES.ID ASC

INTO OUTFILE

	'C:/US_Cities.csv'

FIELDS TERMINATED BY

	';'

ENCLOSED BY

	''

LINES TERMINATED BY

	'\n';

```

For convenience, the generated CSV file is [here](./csv/us_cities.csv).
