I have a big database focusing on U.S. counties. I'd
like to assign each county a code for use as a key.
I'm thinking of simply using the state postal code,
followed by numerals.

For example, Arizona's counties would be arranged
alphabetically, beginning with az1, az2, az3, etc.

I just wondered if anyone on this list has worked with
counties in databases and is aware of a pre-existing
code system that's in fairly wide use. It would be
nice to make a database that's compatible with other
databases, if they share a common code for counties.

Thanks.
