# 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).
