i think everyone thinks i'm really trying to do a lot more than i
really am...this is exactly what I want to do
i need the database broken up into
continents/countries/states,provinces,territories etc..(all hold equal
value for the purposes of which I intend to use)/major cities,well
populated cities, well traveled cities
Also it has to have room for manipulation to add cities, and i'm gonna
also want to add stupid facts about each country like population and
stupid stuff like that and this all has to be able to be pulled from
the database onto a webpage once someone click on the links, EX. if
someone clicks on the map and then to europe and the to england, out
comes the england home page with the facts that are in the database
plugged into the website and basically the database is needed to be
able to readily search fairly quickly through a search bar
incorporated into the site....i'm looking to develop another site like
www.worldatlas.com but with different intentions and not as much B.S.
facts as they have, i need that database but they wont call me back i
order for me to try and buy it from them
