As someone who lives in a zip code that was added in 2004, yet STILL shows up as invalid in countless databases, I can't stress this point enough. Do not maintain data yourself that someone else has a reason/motivation and the resources to maintain. Just send it to the service, and catch the fail. Really. Please.
________________________________ From: Keary Suska <cocoa-...@esoteritech.com> What do you mean, "will work"? That the weather service will accept it? Does the service respond that the zip code isn't usable, for whatever reason? Otherwise, searching 42k+ will be very quick if you put it into a sqllite database. But then you will have to maintain the database, continually update it, and possibly correct it. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
