Here is SQL and a text list of the towns and cities in New Zealand.
The list is free for all to use for any purpose.
The original data was sourced from Wikipedia on Saturday 31 January 2008.
If you need to modify it further, remember that you can always use The Worlds Simplest Code Generator.

As part of a new project I’m doing, I needed to use hashes.
A good source of information on hashes is available from wikipedia.

Following on from my earlier post.

Here is SQL and a tab delimited list of Countries for all to use.
The original data was sourced from Wikipedia.
Note that some countries have single quotes in their names, these need to be escaped for SQL. The SQL I’m supplying is escaped, but the tab delimited version is not.
