postalCodes database structure

Having comprehensive and accurate data is good, but if it's not well structured, it might not be very useful. That's why not only postalCodes, but all of our databases are structured in a very efficient way, which is a compromise between usability and database normalization (which do not always meet the same requirements). This results in very easy to use data, and the possibility to retrieve all the details for specific records with very simple and fast queries.

For easier maintenance, we also assigned a unique identification number to each feature. It is thus possible to store that number to refer to a particular feature, no matter the language used to display the name.

Requirements and files information

The postalCodes data is available in text files (tab delimited) encoded in Unicode (UTF-8). It can therefore be imported in virtually any database, including MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, etc... The only requirements are that you have enough free space on you hard drive to store the files and that you can import those files into your database.

For faster download, files are compressed in ZIP format.
