Houston based Salvex made the Houston 2009 FastTech 50. Salvex came in at #7 with record growth during the calendar year 2008.

Levanta provides web programming, web design, online marketing, search engine optimization and graphic design services for Salvex.

One of my most recent projects required me to develop a custom PayPal checkout with a state and country drop down menu.  I did a brief search on Google for a MySQL script that would create tables for both the states and countries but that search proved to be a bit more difficult than I anticipated.  I am sure this script is used often so it’s hard to understand the lack of search results returned. So I am left to conclude that everyone has a script stored in their personal tool belt and is just unwilling to share.  So I took matters into my own hands and created my own scripts and now posting it to the public (last updated October 8, 2009).

The following MySQL script includes all 195 countries and 51 non-countries such as territories and non-independent entities per ISO 3166-1 and displays a unique ID, full country name and ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 country code.  The maximum length of each country’s name was calculated to determine the appropriate field length.
