Introduction

IP2Location LITE Database

Creative Commons License

This database provides a solution to determine the country of origin for any IP address in a few simple steps. First, retrieve the IP address from the networking protocol or server-side variable of the Web server. Next, translate the IP address to an IP number in decimal format to speed up the database query. Lastly, reverse lookup the IP number from the IP2Location™ database to pinpoint the exact geographical location.

††† Latitude and Longitude are often near the center of population. These values are not precise and should not be used to identify a particular address or household.

Database Setup

Below are the steps to set up the database for both IPv4 and IPv6 data.

Create Database
CREATE DATABASE ip2location;
USE ip2location;
CREATE TABLE `ip2location_db1`(
	`ip_from` INT(10) UNSIGNED,
	`ip_to` INT(10) UNSIGNED,
	`country_code` CHAR(2),
	`country_name` VARCHAR(64),
	PRIMARY KEY (`ip_to`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin;
Import Database
LOAD DATA LOCAL
	INFILE 'IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.CSV'
INTO TABLE
	`ip2location_db1`
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'
IGNORE 0 LINES;
Create Database
CREATE DATABASE ip2location
GO

USE ip2location

CREATE TABLE [ip2location].[dbo].[ip2location_db1](

	[ip_to] bigint NOT NULL,
	[country_code] nvarchar(2) NOT NULL,
	[country_name] nvarchar(64) NOT NULL

GO

CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX [ip_to] ON [ip2location].[dbo].[ip2location_db1]([ip_to]) ON [PRIMARY]

GO

NOTE: You will need to copy the FMT code below and save it as a file named DB1.FMT on your computer.
