That's it. You've finished your work to create a countries table and insert all the countries with their country code in code field and country name in name field.

Table will Look Like in the database.

Advance Tips:

If you want change the field names like name to country_name or c_name or like this then just change the top fields before executing SQL-

CREATE TABLE `countries` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`country_code` varchar(2) NOT NULL default '',
`country_name` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

To change you table name countries to tbl_countries as example-

1. Open any Text Editor, in my case that is Sublime Text-Editor
2. Create New File and paste the whole codes. Then press control+h. Then their two fields will highlight. One is search field and another is replace field. Just replace that as your predefined table name.

The Hit Replace All Button.


That's Finish Everything. So, after this tutorial, we've successfully imported Countries SQL table in our Database.
