uma: we do exactly this - have a table called POSTAL_CODES with a data structure that holds all the data from the USPS citystate.txt file that gets distributed monthly.
please contact me off-line and I'd be happy to share it with you, including the sql-loader parameters to load data. bill -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 12:19 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi Guys, I am looking to create a table which will contain all the postal code reference data as in zip code, county, city,state etc. The source of the data is USPS.
