Rails Migration for a list of countries with ISO codes
It seems every time I write a new web application I eventually hit upon the dreaded "I need a list of countries!" issue. And each time I end up spending 20 minutes on the web looking for an easily downloadable list.
Well, this post is as much for my reference as for yours.
There are two main formats I might be interested in for this list of countries: raw SQL, and a Rails migration.
The raw SQL is usually easy to find. Here's the link to it: Country name and ISO code SQL import.
As for the Rails migration, it took a little bit more digging, but here it is, on DZone: Rails countries migration.
But.. but.. but.. What if you don't want to create a database table for this? What if it's something that you don't access that incredibly often and which really doesn't need to be in your db. Or what if you're writing a ruby script that doesn't have access to a db?
Enter: the rails migration, un-migrationed.
