#Us zip code database software#

There are likely other software that helps with this. It has a tutorial for general distance calculating based on zip codes and an API accessable from multiple languages, C#, VB etc. Perhaps some 3rd party software may be a better solution. Not the least is that many trug formula assume the angle and distances are on a flat surface, but the earth is curved. The difficult part seems to be that there are multiple formulas for for calculating the distance between two points and they may produce different results depending on lots of variables. I know I haven't had a great deal of use for trigonometry since junior high and high school but the formulas don't seem that complex. The approach discussed by travisl (on the sqlteam site) with reference to the codeproject link seems great. The SQLteam links really hold a wealth of info on this subject. (no I don't work for them - in case this sounds like an advertisment)

Other items of interest are the LAT/LON, Elevation, AreaCode, SqMiles, CountySeat, AvgIncome, AvgHomeValue and other Demographic info. Or you do like we do and edit the MSA's yourself and force a Customer to show up in one MSA or another by changing the MSA value for his zipcode. MSA's are Metropolitian Statistical Areas and PMSA's are Primary MetropolitianВ Statistical Areas - usefull when studying areas like Chicago, which could encompass many zipcodes that could cross state boundaries. You may not need all of it (we didn't) but something nice to have for our Marketing Dept was getting the MSA for each ZipCode. The product is called Zip*Data and was provided by:Д«esides the obvious contents of ZipCodes, City, State, FIPS Code, it has alot of other information spread out in several CSV files. Things probably have changed since Aug2000. although we could probably use an update. We bought a Zipcode database a few years back and it does what we needed at the time and we have not updated it since. * specified in latitude/longitude pairs.*/ * Routine to calc miles distance from two points on earth */ earth, then just use this procedure to calc how many miles are in between.Д¬REATE Proc dbo.sp_MilesLatLong decimal(8,4) =0 decimal(8,4) =0 decimal(8,4) =0 decimal(8,4) =0 decimal(10,2) =0 output You can get latitude and longitude for places on Description:This procedure is used to calc miles distance from

Name: Procedure to calc miles distance from two points on earth i would like to Select top 5 Zipcodes where 00501. Say if i have a user the lives in the 00501 zip code. how do i import the data and remove the |ДЄlso, the data has the Longitude and Latitude.can i user this to measure the distance between to zip codes? and how.
