MySQL Database Country Code Table SQL With ISO 3166 1 and 2 Country Codes

Monday, February 8th, 2010

I am developing a new posting/publishing site and had to find and create a MySQL Database Table to manage names and abbreviations of all the countries of the world.

It took a while searching through the web but I found a few sources and then created my own MySQLlist of countries of countries and their ISO codes.

So, as I originally found the list for free, I am sharing my version of it for free.

Click here to download it as a zipped file.

Below is the SQL query:

-- phpMyAdmin SQL Dump

    The following elements were missing from the ISO code I have included them for others to use.
    INSERT INTO countries(`name`, name_caps, iso1_code, iso3_code, num_code) VALUES
    (“Åland Islands”, “ÅLAND ISLANDS”, “AX”, “ALA”, 248),
    (“Jersey”, “JERSEY”, “JE”, “JEY”, 832),
    (“Montenegro”, “MONTENEGRO”, “ME”, “MNE”, 499),
    (“Saint Martin (French part)”, “SAINT MARTIN (FRENCH PART)”, “MF”, “MAF”, 663);

    Iso reference taken from this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1

    Thanks for the file it was very helpful.

    Stephen,

    Thank you for your updated MYSQL INSERTS which will help users update my list with the your 4 additional locations.
    When I get a moment, I will update my MYSQL code with yours so there is one unified Country and Code table.

    And it’s good to hear that it was of use to you.
